Can Motorola repair my cable
-
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.

You can't expect much of an answer if you can't explain what the problem is you think needs repair.

I doubt motorola would fix a cable, instead im sure they would just sell you another one.

They might want to know why you have a programming cable. You can get one pretty cheap on ebay without any questions!
There's this thing called JBWELD that is pretty good at fixing broken parts like that. Just be
sure you don't apply it in such a way that it interferes with the movement or operation of
the electrical contacts.

Astro Programming Cable
Look, you could repair your cable, glue it or something else.
However, if the repair fails during the programming of your radio, it could BRICK your radio. What does your radio cost? How much is your time worth? Do you need a reliable programming cable?
Replace your cable.
Buy a new one, buy one off Flea-Bay........ Whatever it takes.
The cost of a GOOD programming cable compaired to the cost of a radio, or radio repair
is not that much.
You will be happy with a programming cable you can TRUST.
