General Information

The Alpha series radios can be programmed from the front panel (selected models) or via Customer Programming Software (CPS). Commander models are pre- programmed at the factory and no field programming is required.

The pinout of the programming cable for use with the CPS is available here.

The part number for the CPS is PMVN4059/4061 for disks/CD respectively.

Cloning

These radios support cloning parameters between a master and slave radio.

Cloning only transfers the user's settings from the master radio to the slave. Things like tuning values, serial number, etc. are not changed.

To clone a master radio to a slave (target), perform the following:

  • Make sure both radios are off
  • Connect the cloning cable between the two radios through the programming port
  • Turn on the slave radio
  • Press and hold the 'A' button on the master radio and turn it on
  • The master radio will display CLONE if cloning can proceed, otherwise an error will be displayed
  • The slave radio will display PROG while it is being programmed
  • When cloning is complete, the master radio will display END and the slave radio will reset automatically
  • Disconnect the radios from the cloning cable

Error Codes

The following error codes may be displayed while cloning:

Error MessageDescription
TIME OUTData communications time out. Please ensure that the slave radio
is switched on and the cloning cable is properly connected.
BCC ERRData communications checksum error.
TYPE ERRMismatch in model numbers. Please ensure that the master and slave
radios are of the same model number.
CMD ERRData communications command error.

Front Panel Programming

To program the radio through the front panel, you must enter Programming Mode while in Dealer Configuration. This configuration/mode allows you to edit a number of features to enhance the use of this radio. Some Alpha Series radios cannot enable Dealer Configuration, you will have to use the CPS to program these radios.

The radio is shipped from the factory in User Configuration. In this mode, only a limited number of features can be accessed by the user. Channels and other radio settings can only be changed when the radio is in Dealer Configuration.

To switch from User Configuration to Dealer Configuration, do the following:

  • Turn off the radio
  • Press and hold PTT, MON, + while turning the radio on
  • The LCD should display PRO-CLR
  • To confirm switching to Dealer Configuration, press PTT, to cancel press any other key
  • Turn off the radio. It will now operate in Dealer Configuration.

To switch from Dealer Configuration to User Configuration, do the following:

  • Turn off the radio
  • Press and hold PTT, MON, + while turning the radio on
  • The LCD should display PROTECT
  • To confirm switching to User Configuration, press PTT, to cancel press any other key
  • Turn off the radio. It will now operate in User Configuration.

To enter Programming Mode, ensure the radio is turned off, then hold the MON button while turning the radio on. A ring tone should be heard as the radio powers on in Programming Mode.

To exit Programming Mode, turn the radio off.

All of the parameters that can be adjusted from the front panel while in Programming Mode can be found here.

A list of the PL and DPL tones/codes available is available here.

Some programming examples are also available here.

Factory Reset

Performing a factory reset will erase certain user programmable parameters in the radio and restore them to factory default. This will clear all memory channels, phone numbers, and restores the default settings of RW parameters.

To perform the reset, do the following:

  • Ensure the radio is operating in Dealer Programming Mode
  • Press and hold - and MON at the same time while turning on the radio
  • The radio should display INIT OK
  • Press the PTT to confirm, or turn off the radio to exit

When the factory reset is in progress, the LCD will display INIT for one second. When the reset is completed, the radio will turn itself off and back on again. The reset is now complete.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
