Both radios look identical. The CP150 is a 2 Watt radio and the CP200 is a 4 Watt radio. I looked at the power settings in the radio tuner....over my head so I just bought some CP200's.

Daniel Watson

Well I have disassembled the power supply and YES, It is Astec and the company has a website. I could not find any info or replacement parts but I ask the company to supply information for repair/manuals, replacement parts so we will see what happens. Any one that has information about the Astec pow...

Daniel Watson

The gentlemen is correct. The latest version is R05.00. I just looked on my account page and Motorola had a link to download. The download just simply updated the R02.04 version I just purchased.

Daniel Watson

I have a couple of these power supplies for my gang charger and 1 for powering up mobiles. They make sounds like chirping or whinning sounds. It sometimes sounds like something sizzling. I took the cover off and it sounds like the noise is coming from a transformer. I have heard of many problems lik...

Daniel Watson

Finally got the software from Motorola and Yes, the new version 2.04 does program both radio versions. Motorola people very very nice and I even got an online account out of all the paperwork. The cost was $199.

Daniel Watson

Thanks for all the help. Motorola faxed the license agreement the next day after I telephoned. Just had to complete 2 forms and now mailed in and say it will take 5-7 days to process. We will see

Daniel Watson

Well thank you for the information. One lesson here, Before you buy one of these newer radios check what version it is.

Daniel Watson

I have four (4) CP200 portables. Two (2) of them are Version 01.00.00 and two (2) of them are version 02.00.02. I want to buy the software that works for both. Does anyone know approxiately how much the correct software would cost from Motorola. And will one (1) version work for both? Any coments wo...

Daniel Watson

Tuned out to be junk radio

Daniel Watson

Well thats one thing I have not tried. "Select sofware". I tried and tried but nothing works. Starts trying to read but errors out over and over.

Daniel Watson

Yeah I thought of that too. I tried P110 stand alone version..P110 & GP300, even tried GP350 and others thinking something strange happened also. It is reading the code plug but just flashes accessing then the radio beeps twice and it starts the process all over. My friend took it apart and said...

Daniel Watson

Tried all the above, even pulled radio from chassis and connected with alignator clips direct. I have read many many GP's and P110's so I know how to get a good connection. Even cleaned entire board and checked all connections. There are no other signs of trouble, powers up, TX & RX, power, audi...

Daniel Watson

Hmmm out of a couple hundred GP's I have never had this...radio works great but can't read the code plug or even access in service mode. When I begin reading it just says accessing and then after a few minutes the radio emits a beep beep and then starts trying to access again. This continues and con...

Daniel Watson

Looking for information
I notice many Motorola 800 MHz radios on Ebay and there selling cheap. Is the 800 MHz a failing radio service?
Also if anybody could explain what trunked radios or systems are; I would appreciate it. .

Daniel Watson

Here are some numbers Chassis HUE3052C RF board HLE9310B (449-470 MHz) Logic Board HLN9313A (full options & Expanded board) Model # D44MJA7DA5K (read, no tag) Maxtrac 300 16 channel (read) This radio is suppose to be a Maxtrac 300 16 channel 40 Watts with a band split of 449-470 MHz. Does anyone...

Daniel Watson

Hmmmm something strange. This radio has 16 freqs and scans when I push that exit button? Maybe this one has the wrong control head on and this is causing me problems?????

Daniel Watson

This is a UHF, 448-470 MHz BUT I never saw a Maxtrac where the Scan button said, EXIT instead of Scan? With Volume control almost fully open voice audio present but the noise is louder than the voice.

Daniel Watson

On RX this Maxtrac has a loud rushing noise in background. Modulation is noticable but there is more rushing noise than voice transmission. Checked connections, inter connect pins, grounds, speaker. TX & Rx on freq ok. Any ideas? Thank you

Daniel Watson

Thanks Raymond345
He fixed my code plug problem. 2 lesson to be learned here. Save a back up of the code plug and don't put a code plug in unless you are sure it is the right band. I took a guess and made a mess.
Thanks again Ray

Daniel Watson

Does anyone have any information on this Motorola Mobile. Are they upgradable? Do they have special programming software or conditions? They have the std RJ Mic jack but does the same rib & programming cables that are used with the M120 GM300 & Maxtrac work on this radio? Any information wou...

Daniel Watson

Radios Now Scan "Thank You"

Inspection behind the scan button revealed a break in the circuit board. To prevent them from scanning someone cut the ribbon so the circuit to the button was open. All I did was clean the board and solder a bridge over the cut. Both units scan great now.

Daniel Watson

Yes, monitor light is on and I put it on hook and tried both ways. With Base Mic and with a mobile mic connected to ground to make the monitor light go off. Yellow off hook and goes out on hook. They used in an ambulance service and looked pretty clean but I will try cleaning the behind the buttons....

Daniel Watson

Well, I have tried all the suggestions and double checked for little things and tried everything except blanking and intializing. I have not performed this procedure but I assume it is done with MaxLab Tool Kit or some other software???

Daniel Watson

Wow...tried all the obvious. Hold the button down, check programming for enabled, scan list, double check mic on hook, Hmmm I have had no trouble getting other models to scan.......back to the drawning board! Still have no action with Scan button.

Daniel Watson

I am using a base microphone so I assume it does the off on hook, but I will recheck with a mobile mic on hook.

When I try to select channels it just emitts a beep. Pushing the scan button does nothing, no action no beep.

Daniel Watson

Have 2 units and neither one will go into scan mode. Scan list has 16 channels selected, 15 no priority and 1 channel as prioirity. When the scan button is depressed there is no sound or action. The select botton makes a beep and thats it. AM I missing something here is get them to scan????

Daniel Watson

Well, followed the advice. Cleaned contacts, moved logic board to clean pins, removed shields to inspect. I am thinking when I used contacct cleaner on the ground of the power supply connection that 99% of the noise went away. Those pins corrode teribbly and someone suggested possible bad ground. I ...

Daniel Watson

Brrrrrrrrrr I have a really agravating noise in the background during transmissions. Sounds like a motor running and somewhat intermittment. I have changed power supplies and mics to no avail. I have not tried running it off a battery because I have never had this before on other Maxtracs???? Help

Daniel Watson

Turned out GREAT! Thank you

Daniel Watson

I have an M120 that is a perfectly good working radio except somewhere along the line the 16 pin connector is missing. The logic board looks fine its just that there is no 16 pin connector and Pins 15 & 16 are jumpered to make the internal speaker work. To install a 16 pin connector would requir...

Daniel Watson

Justin, Indeed you were correct. Both units had Voice Inversion kits installed. I just opened the radio and unplugged them. Thank you

Daniel Watson

I acquired a P110 VHF and a GP300 UHF and they both came with the same problem. TX and Rx they sound like chineese or garble. The start up beep is fine and they are on frequency they just sound off freq but my freq counter show them right on.

Daniel Watson

I used the method of grounding the first wire of left plug as desicribed in Batlabs suggestions. I was able to program the radio and it is back to the right band. The radio transmits but the beep at start up is very faint and the radio does not seem to receive. Is it possible the radio will have to ...

Daniel Watson

Dummy me! I put in by mistake a VHF code plug into a low band 403-433 MHz. The model number of the sick radio is H44RFU7160BN. I can now read the radio but cannot write to it. I have tried changing the band to no avail. Its current state is no lights, dead and I don't have a code plug or another rad...

Troubleshooting a noisy transformer? I have several Gang chargers with many hickups. Once I used a different transformer all of the charging trays worked with no problems. Turns out the tranformers caused all the problems. They work intermittent and make a squealing noise, sometimes they just kick o...

Daniel Watson

My friend has several of these and when plugged in they make a whinning sound. I want to buy a few of these but the transformer box says that there are no servicable parts inside. Anybody have experience with these or this problem?

Daniel Watson

Be careful, I thought we had a speaker mic jack problem but it turned out to be a bad lead wire from the internal mic/speaker. It probably came from re-casing the radio and the little ribbon wire connector had a break, probably from pulling on it, and the internal mic did not work. These ribbon wire...

Daniel Watson

I saw an article on Ebay that said, Motorola is ending support for these radios as of Jan 2005. No more sales, parts ect. Is this true? If so, would that mean these would be obsolete soon?

Daniel Watson

I have a few of these portables that don't even raise my wattmeter but are still transmitting, but weak. Everything sounds great, just low power. Is this very hard to repair?

Daniel Watson

Can someone tell me briefly what this feature is all about.

Daniel Watson

The speakers are the same as P110's & GP88's. I have a hundred of them or more. Still need one (speaker/Mic assembly). Let me know

Daniel Watson

All straightened out!
Just had to use hex editor to make it look like a 16 channel. The error was because the model number was for a 8 channel but there were 16 freq programmed in and this confused the software. Whoever emailed me the tip......Thank you

Daniel Watson

Help..I need a code plug for a Motorola GM300 M34GMC20D3AA

Daniel Watson

This radio has 16 channels and according to the Model number it should be only an 8 channel. Someone must have converted it with Hex Editor or TK. I tried changing TX power in the alignment window and saving but it did not affect my problem. When you read the radio it starts out nomal but then it po...

Daniel Watson

GM300 M34GMC20D3AA radio works fine but if you try programming it a pop up occurs...Error Number 58 has occurred...Radio Code Plug Error?

Daniel Watson

I have a couple P110's that are model #P44QLC00D2AA. I have no problems programming except with one (1) that reports Radio Not supported Error 21. I am thinking someone put a different radio in this case and replaced the cover that has the P110 model number. HOW CAN I TELL WHAT RADIO I ACTUALLY HAVE...

Daniel Watson

Bob The monitor button works normal in regard to holding it down and opening up the squelch. Depress it and it silences. The radio transmitts the code programmed but the squelch will open with or without PL code transmitted just like it should do with the monitor light on. I have tried a different f...

Daniel Watson

Mic and ground, front housing board, all of this checked and re-checked and still monitor light on all the time. Not encoding/decoding. My other GM300's & M120's monitor light goes out when mic returned to mic hook or base mic in use. This GM300 has monitor light on all the time. Is there anothe...

Daniel Watson

Anyone have this problem and if so, what was the fix? Thank you
