I need help programming my Motorola MCS2000. When I attempt to read the radio I receive an error, "Communication with radio failed". Here's how I reproduce the issue: Connect radio with USB to radio's mic port Open MCS2000 CPS software Choose File > Read Device Select COM1 (the port associated with the USB cable), choose "OK" Receive error, "Communication with radio failed"Here's my setup: Radio Model M01MX+713WRadio ID M01SHL9PW4AN.Software: MSC2000 CPS Ver. R02.02.00. Cable: MSC2000 FTDI USB Serial Cable (ordered from BlueMax49ers)Cable USB driver: FTDI ver. 2.12.28.0 (Date: 8/16/2017)Computer OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-bit Operating SystemAny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Doug T (WRFL449)

I installed KPG-49D ver. 4.02 and it worked beautifully. It connected to the radio, had all the options I needed, and now my radio is up and running. Thank you all for your suggestions!

I just purchased a Kenwood TK-880 off of Ebay and a programming cable (BlueMax49ers FTDI USB Serial Cable). I installed KPG-60D for windows and I get an error when I attempt to communicate with the radio. I choose "Program" then "Read from Radio", and get error "Check radio type. Retry or Cancel". I verified the COM port. The radio shows "Program", but the software isn't getting past this message. On other forums I read that software KPG-49D is used for this radio. I downloaded the program but it won't install on my Windows 7 PC. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.
