To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Assuming your CPS config is correct, Scan would not be under Utilities - it would be in the Main Menu.
ok, i've found the scan table now what?

Not trying to dig up an old post, but I too have the GP360 and have been trying to get the cable to read the radio. I need help on getting the serial port able to read the radio. Any assistance? I am getting error: "Can not create uknown radio component".

I get that same error when trying to read with a different software other than the one that came with my GP380. Do some research and see about getting your hands on the European version of the CPS or verify the version you have is a european version. If that doesnt solve the problem I would try a different cable and see if that helps.

I've got the same problem.
I have a Motorola GP380. This has the programming cable.
I have tried to ComTest software and this finds the radio without any problems at all.
I've been using the following two versions of programming software:
- CPS Version R03.08.03 Professional GP300/GM300 series CPS.
- CPS Version D03.02.01 series CPS
Neither of these works. The radio can be found and using the ComTest software on ALL COM ports without any issues.
I have tried this on Windows XP Pro SP3 as well as an older copy of Windows 2000 Pro and get the same issue on BOTH machines.
Any ideas???

I've since been able to get an older machine running Windows 2000 to read and write the codeplug.
The only changes I made were to the hardware settings for the COM ports. I changed what appeared to the default 9600 setting up to the maximum and rebooted the machine. I also went through any services that may have had conflicts with com port access and either stopped them, uninstalled them or just killed the processes. For whatever reason, the system now reads from and writes to the radio just fine.

I have the same thing only I can not get my computer to recognize the usb cable, it wants a driver and i can not locate one for the gp360 and i have that same small disk.

Can not create, unknown radio component
The person that programmed our radios did it with an XP machine. I have tried with Win7 using a USB to serial dongle, I put the Win7 lapotp on a docking station to use the com port, I realized I have a desktop that is XP, I loaded CPS, I run the Comtest nd it sees the radio - I still get the same error no matter what "CAN NOT CREATE, UNKNOWN RADIO COMPONENT". It is though the CPS program cannot see via the com port. I have read several articles that said CPS would ask which port, I don't get that. I am trying to program the GP360, the GM360, and a repeater CDM750. I have tried CPS versions Professional GP300/GM300 R03.11.15, Professional Radio CPS R06.12.04, and Professional Radio CPS R04.00.00. I am using a Maxton Model RPC-M300XX RIB. This RIB has been used successfully before but now when I try it gets this error. Anything I haven't tried yet? I am in Afghanistan and I just can't run to my local Motorola shop to get help.
Thanks

Try uninstalling the software. It will only work on a windows xp or 2000 machine.
