Recently purchased a ht750 programming cable from ebay, installed the CD, and can't get the cable to read a HT750 radio...tried all the ports and still A NO GO...any suggestions? or anyone had this problem before?

Re: motorola ht750 usb cable
eBay cables are a crap shoot at best. It could be the cable itself, driver, dirty contacts on the radio. Have you used that version of CPS on the radio before?
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Did you set the software to use a USB connection?
Re: motorola ht750 usb cable
first step is to make sure that your computer 'sees' the cable, in device manager. While you're in there, open the properties for the cable and make sure it's on a port that CPS can see - which is normally 1 - 4. Then, of course, make sure CPS is using the same port number that the cable is assigned to, and make sure your HT is on and connected.
If this doesn't work, you're into voodoo, so start playing. Some of the things to try are to limit the port speed in Device Manager and fiddle with the buffer settings - these are going to be very dependent on the subtleties of your computer, so there is no reliable guide there.
Make sure you're using a good copy of a CPS that is as recent or more recent than the last CPS that coded the HT, and if that doesn't do it try a known good Ribless Serial cable or known good RIB/cable.
The next part of the procedure is to chop the offending cable into itty bitty pieces and scream at it, then buy actual moto hardware.
