Basic Programming for Motorola GP3xx and GM3xx Series VHF

Radios

Introduction

Over the years the UN has developed an efficient VHF radio network. As a part of

this efficiency, all VHF radio equipment should be able to work with the standards as

laid down for any given network. In practice this not only means using the same

brand and family model, but also using the same software set up (codeplug).

This manual describes how to install and program the software accordingly.

The following procedures concern the models: GP340 GP360 GP380 GP388 GM360

GM380.

These models are the standard radios in use by the United Nations.

It is important to program the radios to standards. Access to the network or

emergency calls might not be possible if programmed incorrectly and could

jeopardize the safety of the user.

Equipment Required

• A computer running Windows 98 or higher.

• A laptop is needed to program the GM3xx radios in vehicles.

• Motorola “Professional GP300/GM300 Series CPS” software.

• Software version R03.06.00 or higher is recommended.

• The appropriate Motorola programming cables. (GM3xx, GP3xx or GP388

radios use different cables). Annex A contains the different cables.

• The country specific callsign and selcall allocation table Annex B contains an

example.

Getting Started

• Start your computer and run the Motorola CPS software.

• Connect the programming cable to your computer, usually on the COM port.

The new generation of laptop does not have COM ports anymore. You will

need a “COM to USB” adapter.

On GP3xx radios:

• Remove the plastic cover located on the right side of the radio and connect the

appropriate cable. Screw it gently.

On GM3xx radios:

• Disconnect the microphone plug and connect the appropriate programming

cable to the RJ45 socket.

• Turn on the radio.
