Just wanted to know if the PMKN4012A cable will read and program a XPR-7550 radio? I'm getting people that are saying it does and doesn't? Is the PMKN4012B programming cable what is needed?
thanks

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.

I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure my cable is the A version (I've had it for over a year now) and it works fine.

PMKN4012 should work just fine. That's the cable I use for a 7550e.

I had an A if I recall correctly, that wouldn't work. All you have to do is move a ground wire and it functions as a B. Simple fix in about 10 minutes time. I think there's a YouTube on it, or something in Batlabs.

Revision A does not work on 7000 series portables.

PMKN4012B is specifically listed as the required cable for 7000 series portables. See footnote 4.

Years ago I bought an “A” cable, & even though others said it wouldn’t work with my 7550, it worked great. A year later I bought my APX, & that “A” worked fine. But last year, I bought a new 7550e, & then I had to do the mod from A, to B. Took 5 minutes.
My "A" cable works fine with 7550.
Sorry mine is a B version dated 12/16.
