FBK: Motorola is VERY protective of their copyrighted programming software. When a legitimate copy is sold or transferred they do demand a licensing fee. They even monitor places like eBay and Craig's List as well as places like qth.com and QRZ.com for people selling both legitimate and bootlegged copies. When Motorola comes across a bootleg copy they can get absolutely nasty! The cheapest method for getting a single radio programmed will be to get with a two-way radio shop which has a licensed copy of the software and get them to do the programming.
Autodesk mud box. CDM-1250 software- monetary go-around? I agree, there is no use expecting anyone to offer a 'pirate' copy of carefully protected software, irregardless of the manufacturer's support of the hardware and/or software. However- This should not preclude you and another amateur radio operator from 'splitting costs' by physcially moving the software and hardware required for programming from place to place. It is just a matter of trust that the hardware and software all should be in *one place at a time*, meaning only one copy of the software on one P.C. For instance, If I should decide to sell my CDM-1450/1550 (?) radio- and I agreed to meet you somewhere (having purchased the software only), would you consider loaning me your RIB and cables long enough to program the radio for the next owner? The problem is just about who retains both items afterward. All three items are expensive- RIB about $200.00 or more, cables around $35.00, Software $200.00(?) or more.
