• 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.

I have some BD502 and BD552 radios I need to re-program. I also purchased the BD Series CPS software and a PC76 cable from my dealer. However the cable seems to need a driver, which was not supplied. In Windows 10 device manager it just shows as a "USB serial controller" with a yellow triangle and exclamation point. I contacted my dealer and they said a driver is not necessary. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.

This is a screen shot of win 10 after an install of BD version 1.5.10.5, at first I got an installing message that went away when this one came up.
I did not get a prompt to install a USB driver like some other CPS versions do.

Prolific drivers are not in w10 by default, but are installed automatically when computer online from external source (MS) . It just takes some time.
To speed up, one can go to device manager and for the usb serial controller 'update driver', 'search for driver automatically'
It is all together 4 files, can take some more seconds to download it.
