M1225 Cable / Software

[thereverend2u2]

Just wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to lend a fireman their software and cables to program a couple M1225 radios so they are narrow band compliant. I would be happy to pay all shipping costs and give you $20 or so for your troubles. Thanks!

sorry, see http://forums.radioreference.com/motorola-forum/74748-you-looking-free-programming-software.html

most shops would only charge 30-40.00 per radio to do this, maybe more maybe less. i highly recommend you have them realigned at time of programming though, i've seen some 1225's that were horribly out of spec and absolutely would not work on NB until realigned, even though they "worked fine" prior to reprogramming. luckily for me i check them both before and after programming and told the guy before i programmed them that would not work until aligned.

M1225 Software

Not looking for FREE software unless someone wanted to give it to me..
I am simply looking to barrow the cables and software to program the radios and return it to you
please let me know if you are interested.

i understand that, but to borrow it you have to install it without being a licensee. Moto makes each person wanting a copy of their software sign an agreement and purchase it, whether you need to program 1 radio or 1000. see the problem?

you may get lucky and find a local guy who has it and would go by your location or let you run the radios to him. cables/ribs/etc cost too much to just blindly ship out to someone, even with the legality of "borrowing software" aside.

me personally, i think M should make all software for unsupported models free. but it will never happen as even if they were to have a compasionate moment and be so inclined the FCC NB rules say the end user cannot have a means to revert to WB once the NB conversion is done. if the software became legally obtainable that would make it impossible!
