Programming HT1250 and CDM750 radios

[jjbus]

Hello,
Looking for assistance with programming. Recently started programming and have been able to program XPR4350 and CM200d without issue. My issue has been with the CDM750 and HT1250 radios. I have tried to program with CPS and CPS 2.0. Each time I read the radios, it says the radios are undetectable. Each time the radios are on and connections are checked. Am I using the wrong cables? Is the software too new for the old radios? Not sure when the radios were programmed last, as I got them from an auction site.

Any help would be appreciated!

CDM/HT series radios are ancient by todays standards and definitely do not use MotoTRBO software. You need Waris series software, HVN9025 R6.12.09? I think was the last release..

Most likely wrong software.

Uses PRO Software.

And a 32-bit OS like XP or Vista. A 32-bit Windows 7 may work but not sure. I'm a tad foggy on if you need a RIB or not. Something tells me probably not just a USB serial adapter with a Prolific Driver. It's been well over a decade or so for me the last time I programmed a HT/CDM Series radio.

I do have the software and cables so if you need me to program your radios I can do that for you.

I program my HT1250 (VHF) with the Pro CPS and a usb cable —no rib— on my Windows 10 laptop without a glitch.
I use R6.12.05 as I need the 25KHz bw for the 2m VHF ham band.

I have the R6.11.10 version with wideband. I can't find my CD to try it on my Windows 10 and 11. I think my version must be only a 32-bit program

Also, if I recall correctly, very old firmware won’t allow you to use a ribless cable. Have to use a RIB for those.
