I am using Motorola MOTOTRBO CPS 7.5. The problem occurs when I connect a radio via the programming cable. Windows detecst, installs, and shows that the device is connected. I am able to read and write to the radio after a fresh restart of Windows but after the cable or radio is disconnected I am unable to read or write until i restart.
I just recently updated my CPS software to version 12.0 Build 642 on windows 10 and I was trying to update firmware. I connected the OEM cable to USB port and I could hear the computer making the sound that it was connected. I went to settings, connected devices and shows 'USB Serial Device (COM4)'. Shouldn't that say Motorola radio or something like that? From the software I tried to read the radio but kept getting error #1687 Unable to detect applicable devices(s) Check to see if compatible programming cable is used. It use to work! Should I have updated the 'firmware' first before updating the CPS software? Should I un-install the software and go back to older version 11dot5_build621?
