Re-programing 2nd hand CP200d

[trevorFSE]

Can anyone tell me how I can reprogram a used CP200D?
I have the Official Motorola software and I can copy radios and clone, new radios.
However, I have acquired two previously owned units that I need to reprogram to our frequency's, the software will not overwrite the existing programing.

Start by reading the radio. If you can do that, then edit the codeplug to become what you need it to be. Then write it to the radio.,

Generally, Motorola software is very specific about this matter. Codeplugs can only be cloned from one radio to another if they are IDENTICAL, varying only in their serial numbers.

Or do you mean that you can't read the codeplug? Codeplug locked radios?
If you can afford to loose whatever is currently programmed, I'm pretty certain that you can just overwrite the existing codeplug with another one, and unlock the radio in the process. I seem to remember to have done exactly that.
