The Motorola CM340 programming software is a specialized tool designed to configure, program, and manage the CM340 two-way radio. The software allows users to customize the device's settings, such as channel configurations, tone settings, and squelch modes. The exclusive software ensures that users can optimize their device's performance, enhance its functionality, and troubleshoot any issues.
After verifying all entries, select the "Write" command. This transfers the new configuration data to the radio. Ensure the connection remains stable until the process is confirmed as complete. Best Practices
The is a European-market mobile radio from the Commercial Series. Programming this device requires specific Customer Programming Software (CPS) and a compatible hardware interface. Required Programming Software
The Commercial Series CPS is legacy software. While newer iterations (like R05.18) run successfully on modern operating systems, older versions require specific compatibility adjustments. Windows 7, 10, or 11 (32-bit or 64-bit).
If you own a business or radio fleet, sign Motorola’s software agreement (approx. $250). You’ll need a valid Motorola Online account and proof of radio ownership (serial number/model).
If you use a standard Maxtrac cable (which only uses pins 2 and 5), the radio will appear "dead" to the CPS because the microcomputer will think a standard microphone is attached. You need a specific "RIB-less" (Radio Interface Box less) cable that pulls 9.3V from Pin 8 of the modular jack and routes it to Pin 6 (Hook). Many modern aftermarket cables, such as the USB Programming Kit for the GM3188 (Model No. RKN4083), are designed to handle this voltage requirement for the CM340.
Because the software is legacy, compatibility varies across modern computers: Native support; highly stable.
Click the icon on the toolbar, or go to Device > Read Device .
Navigate to the top menu and select > Preferences (or Comm Setting depending on the CPS version).
To understand the capabilities of this software, you first need to know the radio it's designed to control.
