Programming software for Motorola GM300 mobile?
- Thread starter Moleculo
- Start date
Well, I located the programming software and a cable. Unfortunately, it will not recognize the USB - Serial converter in a DOS box. The software actually sees the com port OK, but it can't read the radio. Now I have to find an old computer with a serial cable and DOS to try to get this to work.
you really need to do some research on batlabs and repeater builder. You CANNOT use a USB cable in DOS.
You need the RIB and the right cable with a TRUE serial connection running in TRUE dos to program the radios. Running the dos window in the Windows operating system will not work.

I got it working with an old PC with a real serial port. I just used a cheap cable off ebay, which worked fine.
BTW, if you happen to have a modern computer with an old fashioned serial (DB9/DB25), you can get the program to work in a DOS box. You cannot get it to work in a Windows command prompt, rather you have to download a real DOS virtual machine application. There are a few free ones out that will work. But the serial port is the key.

Moleculo, I was wondering if you could share the specific model of cable you purchased on eBay and the software version you used? I have the same radio and would very much like to use it on 2-meters. I've wanted to do this for a while but there are so many different methods online it confused me. Some claim you need the RIB, others say you don't. Some show simple schematics of a cable that goes right from the PC serial port to the RJ-45 with just a resistor and a diode others have many components. Some use versions of the original software others use aftermarket.
It would be nice to replicate a known method that works. I'm hoping the receiver has a good front end that is highly selective like the old Maxar and Micor crystal controlled units had. I question if the input to the front end is broadband (since it doesn't appear to need alignment after changing frequencies) or if they may use varactor diodes to electronically tune the front end to track the programmed frequency? Any help you can provide with info regarding programming would be greatly appreciated.
This is the exact cable that I purchased:

The programming software is fairly simple. If you have a tech bench, the alignment procedure is also included in the software. Download it, buy that cable and try it out - I think you'll be pleased. Regarding the front-end on these radios: I'm only using it on 440, but I think these radios really are pretty good. The old radios I got on ebay were a little off frequency, but it was easily solved by someone with the right equipment using the software alignment procedure.
