Jan 30, 2010  I'm having trouble programing my CDM1250. I purchased a RIBless programing cable (Model29-USB) from PolarisUSA.

I uninstalled the programming software and reinstalled it.

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.
