Hello,
I just want to confirm if the same programming cable that works with the Motorola CP200 will not work with the Magone BPR40. I am having zero luck programming this cable to the BPR40. It always said "communication error please check the programming mode". Thank you
Bert
Bert, First, make sure the radio is fully charged. Once it is, remove it from the charger. Trying to program with the radio in the charger is a possible cause. Also, if you are using a USB Interface cable and not the serial 9-pin cable, that can be another problem. However, even with the 9-pin cable, I still get error messages. ESPECIALLY when trying to narrowband.
Fact of the matter is this, BPR40's are not the best radios and the CPS is not the most stable. It takes a few shots at writing sometimes.
Check the items I have listed and get back to us. Or PM me directly. I keep RR.com open when I am at my bench.
