• 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.

VX-3200 Programming Issue - "Open Err" message

Greetings:

I am trying to program a VX-3200 using the CE52 (v4.85) software, Windows XP laptop and a USB programming cable. Per my understanding of the programming instructions, I first attempt to download the current programming from the radio with the intent of saving that file, making any changes I require, and then uploading the updated file to the radio. Each time I select the "Read from Radio" command, I receive the following error message - "Open Err". The LCD on the radio does display "PGM" so I believe that it is recognizing the cable/computer.

Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

VX-3200 are legacy radios, you should use the VPL-1 with the Comm1 port connection.

FIF-8 is used only for updating the firmware
I do not recommend using a FIF-10A or FIF-12

VX-3200 also make a LTR version and requires CE47
