Can anyone confirm that the cable to program the XPR3500e is the same cable as used with the XPR7550? A reference online indicates its the PMKN4115B and I just need to confirm that.
Thanks!
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.

As mentioned not the same, Accessories like Microphones are also obviously different.

The good thing is it’s cheap. When I bought mine, it was $21, & a genuine Moto cable.

Thank you very much gentlemen. I just ordered the proper cable. I have an XPR3500e enroute. I've used 6550's and 7550's before but never the 3500 series. I'm planning to use it on a local DMR repeater network that have amazingly good coverage here in the L.A. area. Hopefully the smaller size will make it easier to tote around.
Again, thank you all!
Again, thank you all!
if it's DMR only you're looking for, look for a SL 7550, talk about an amazing smaller DMR radio. Programs with a micro USB cable. Same CPS assuming the firmware matches.
SL7550 is only 2 watts The XPR3500 is 4 watts... 2 watts is useless unless you are in a small area
I am familiar with the power ratings thanks. I based my post on his comment about "amazingly good coverage" and "smaller size". I use my SL7550 often when we do events and such on our Local DMR repeater and have several I loan out. Thanks for your opinion, mine's somewhat different. 73
