Midland MTX500 Programming

[WSEM624]

I have a Midland MTX500T and have been unsuccessful programming it.  I continue to get the error of not finding the com port when connected to my laptop.  Does any have a solution?  

Thanks,

Daniel

What is a MXT500T? What is the difference between the MXT500T and a regular MXT500 model radio. I never heard of a MXT500T model.

Also, what version MXT500 radio do you have? The 30 channel (older model before mid 2023) or 128 Channel model (newer than mid 2023 model) The older model radio is not compatible with the latest version programming software, you need to apply the firmware upgrade first to change it to a 128 channel radio.

The Midland programming software will work with a Windows 10 and 11 Operating Systems based Personal Computer using USB ports. Using virtual applications/programs to fake out the computer into something that it is not the real thing are nothing but problems. Some times they may work and most of the time they don't.
