• 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.

Just received a used SL7550 currently running R2.02.01 firmware. But when I try and update to the last release the CPS gets more than halfway then throws an error #8862 Application has encountered a problem. Failed to access a file in the device.

Have never run into that before I have several other TRBO radios and have never run into that error until this one.

Any ideas?

P.S Running CPS 14.0 on a Windows 7Pro laptop.

More than likely you are trying to jump to far forward.

Start with something like 2.4 firmware before you try an jump to 2.6 or 2.7.

Well I found that the Tanapa Number in the code plug doesn't match the Tanapa Number on the rear label under the battery. That could be why it's not updating

That's what I was thinking but don't have access to any earlier firmware packages than 2.7.
