I'm working with a few XPR4350 radios. I have Mototrbo CPS 10.0 and the HKN6184C programming cable. The computers in use are a Win 7 Pro 32bit and a Win 7 Pro 64bit.

Initially, had a problem using an XP machine. Called Motorola and was informed the CPS would not work on XP. Ok. Unistalled CPS from XP machine and installed on Win 7 64 bit. Success! No problems, except this machine my personal computer and the radios are for work. Got our IT folks to build a Win 7 machine (32bit), no network connection - our system REALLY hates unauthorized network connections. Only software is OS, antivirus, Reader, and Mototrbo CPS. Tried reading a radio - nothing. Radio is not detected when plugged in. Try a different radio - success! Try a third one - not detected. Back to second radio - not detected. Ok, back to Plan B - personal computer. Tried all radios - not detected. These are the same radios I programmed earlier with this computer.

At this point, I'm thinking the problem is the programming cable, so I'm looking at a new cable. Question - which radio connection is better, the mic plug or the accessory connector for programming?

I am programming my 4550 radios with a XP machine through the acc connector in the back of the radio. CPS 10. I keep the cable plugged in the radio full time, so this way I don't have to keep unplugging the mike. Good luck, but I don't think the XP machine is the problem. GARY

The XP machine is on our corporate network and they will NOT allow any authorized network connections to any corporate machine, hence the stand alone Win 7 computer.
