Carl, The current MOL price for the HVN9054E RSS is $295. The CD contains both the 3.2 version for earlier Windows up through 98, and the 4.0 version for XP.
If you're not a dealer of Motorola radios, the only way you can get the software legally is to have one or more 1225-series radios in your possession, and apply for a license as a "self-servicing end-user." Needless to say, it's more likely that Motorola will grant you a license if you have several radios than if you have only one. After all, you can have a dealer program your R1225 many times before the cost of the RSS is reached. You will be asked for the serial numbers of the radios you intend to program. The reason why Motorola is very protective of the 1225 RSS is because the R1225 full-duplex radio is very much a current product. This is the radio that is inside a GR1225 or RKR1225 repeater. The M1225 and P1225 radios are discontinued. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cort Buffington Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 1:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola R1225 RSS/CPS Anybody know about how much the programming software for an R1225 is and if Motorola will sell it to any old guy off the street (like me)? 73 DE N0MJS
