I tried to do a search to avoid duplicate questions but didn't see everything I was looking for.
I recently picked up two surplus UHF M1225 radios.. One looks like it has a full alphanumeric display and the other has a non alphanumeric display. Based on researching the agencies that they came from, both appear to be conventional non trunking models.
I have a few questions.
One of the radios has a power wire that splits off of the main wiring and plugs into the port on the back. It also appears to have some ground wires that are simply cut and go nowhere. The radio works with the wiring connected but not without. Any idea what this was for?
Two, I read something about some software being available for download (possibly free or for a fee?) if if I register (and am approved) for an account with Motorola. If this correct or am I basically SOL on getting the software to program it? (Note: I am only asking if the software can be obtained through an official method)
Finally, what type of coax connector do these use? It doesn't appear to be PL-259 or an N connector.
Thanks!
