I just picked a used motorola xpr7550e,got cps2.0, got a program cable, tried creating a channel on frequency 462.5625mhz but I keep getting a "frequency out of range" error message and it reverts back to136.067000mhz, am I just missing something simple, do i need special entitlement? any help is much appreciated, 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.

Just a WAG, but you probably have a VHF radio and not UHF. Oh yeah, they aren't approved for FRS use.
thanks, that is the problem, I did not realize they came in two different models.

ØÆSØ Say it, say 'ENCRYPTION'
On the back of the radio under the battery there should be a sticker that has a model number something like: AAH56JRDN9RA1AN. The 'J' after the 6 is the band split indicator. You need to find an XPR7550 that has a 'R' after the 6 in the model number. The R tells you it is a 403-520MHz UHF radio.
Sorry you didn't like his answer @ElevatorsAndRadios, but it's 100% correct.
If he has a GMRS license, he can use that frequency up to 5 watts ERP.
The "R" model XPR7550e operating range is 403-512 MHz.
Pretty sure some of you are missing this important detail from his post....I am also pretty sure Moto does not make a dual band XPR7550...so it should be obvious why he can't program GMRS or any other UHF freq into that radio.
I didn't realize they were part 95 approved. Can you share where we can confirm that?
They are not Part 95 approved or Type-Accepted radios.
However, Part 95 does allow the " USE" of LMR type-accepted radios, on Part 95 freqs providing that they are used/operated in accordance with the respective Part 95 subparts in the radio service where that radio is being used.
In this case of operating on 462.5625 MHz with a GMRS license, the station operator "using" his XPR7550e radio, is allow up to 5 watts ERP, and must meet the other requirements insofar of emissions, frequency accuracy, etc. as required by those rules in subpart E. In other words, a LMR stations cannot exceed the power, accuracy, and emissions requirements as Part 95 Subpart E Type-Accepted radio must adhere to.

Can you cite that somewhere? Or is that just how you interpret the rules? It would seem odd to me that companies would go to the expense of having both part 90 and 95 certs when 90 is all they need.
On second thought, the OP has a VHF so I'm closing this as I know you can't cite where a part 95 type acceptance isn't needed.
