Motorola CDM1250 TPL Code

[haxsaw]

I was able to obtain a couple of these radios, they are work horses, I am in the process of programming them but I am not able to program a simplex channel without giving it a TPL Code, is there anyway to disable the TPL Code for a simplex channel?

if I simply put 0.0 in the TPL Code box, I get an error when trying to write to the radio.

I am using Professional Radio CPS software version R06.12.09

any help would be appreciated.

Use the dropdown and change the squelch type to CSQ. The tone value field will gray out.

You also need to change your bandwidth from 12.5KHz to 25KHz.

won't be able to do that in that version of software without an entitlement

The bandwidth box isn't grayed out...

change it to 25 and try to write the radio, see what happens

nhfdcadet is correct. The NB restriction doesn’t show itself until you attempt to write the codeplug to the radio. If you have the EID installed, it asks if you are sure you to program in WB. If you don’t have the EID, it gives an error message and won’t finish the write sequence.

Without the EID, stick to R12.06.05 which was the last revision before the WB restrictions.

I believe they are interchangeable. No 'codeplug too new' error l.

just need to go back to 6.12.05, lucky the codeplug version is same so you can read out and write with no new codeplug error.

thanks, simple fix, it wouldn't let me change the band width to 25KHz, is there a work around?

I'm new to programming these radios, what is EID? where and how do I get it?

1. Get or already have a MOL account.

2. Take the online WB training course.

3. Purchase ($0.00) the WB Entitlement ID and install it into the CPS.

The alternative, especially if you do not hold a legit copy of the CPS, is follow the advice in the posts above and use R12.06.05 which does not have the WB restriction.

what is a MOL account, i assume it has something to do with Motorola but i am not able to locate anything on it, and i cannot seem to find the R12.06.05 version anywhere.

MOL is Motorola On Line which is the only legit outlet for purchasing Motorola software.

There are extensive discussions on properly acquiring Motorola software and even more extensive threads on programming the Motorola Professional Series here on RR. Since much of what this thread has now evolved to has been discussed and explained over and over again, I suggest you fire up the Search function and do some serious reading.

Even further tech info for these radios and software can be found by searching over on the batboard.

I have searched for two days and cannot find version R12.06.05 to purchase or download. I have applied for a MOL account but they are asking a lot of questions.

waiting for their response to my answers.

so Motorola cannot figure out how to add the EID's to my account so I can place the order, the customer service has been great, would just be nice to be able to obtain the EID's..

Try searching for R06.12.05 not R12.06.05

You cannot get the EID unless you purchase the CPS. Once it is purchased, you have to take. Wideband course and then they can add it to your account for purchase, which is $0.00. There is obviously a charge for the CPS.
