• 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.

So, new issue has cropped up. The radio, cable, and computer have all been used together many times, but for some reason, the PC will not see the connection anymore. Watching the device manager when I turn on the radio and nothing happens, I have tried different USB ports, I have installed tuner and the APX USB driver package...still nothing.

Anyone had this issue before?

What version of CPS are you using? You may want to make sure you're using the latest. I can't recall exactly when, but seems like early last year there was a thread on this where a Windows 10 update killed the standard Motorola USB driver. The initial fix was to use the driver that came with with the tuner software, but they fixed it with an update in the CPS.

edit: Found the thread it was back in September. Version 21.40 is where they fixed the issue.
