Is it the same radio that you started this post about five years ago? If not, you should stick ro the other post you started and give more info about the radio you are trying to program.

How old is the radio (what are the three letters in the serial number)?

The older Maxtracs used a NOVRAM to store the codeplug, which is basically some RAM with a battery built into it, after a number of years the battery goes bad. By now any that had the NOVRAM will be old enough that it will be bad. If you have one of those, that might be the problem. If you have the radio open you can see if it has the NOVRAM by looking in the shielded area on the logic board, it would be a black module, probably says DALLAS on it, like these:
