Download the Motorola programming software for Radius GM300. After searching for the genuine Motorola program I came across Motorola Radius GM300 Radio Doctor. Acabo de descargar el programa de gm300 radius doctor para windows xp pero al querer leer la radio (motorola gm300).
I found an old Motorola Maxtrac in a parts truck I bought. I'd like to program some channels into it with a Windows 7 computer and DOSbox.
My first issue, is I'm having trouble identifying the radio because the id tag is all worn off. Therefore I don't know which rss software to use. Does anyone have the ability to ID this radio by sight? I believe its a commercial unit, not a radius model.
Secondly, I'm unable to communicate with the radio through dos box. I have tried a ton of different cycle numbers and none seem to work with my setup.
I am fairly confident that I have my comm ports setup correctly. I am using a usb to serial adapter and to a ribless cable. The usb to serial adapter is comm 8 and I have edited the DOSbox config file to reflect this. Is it possible to use this setup with this type of radio? Any help or guidance at this point would be appreciated.

It has been my experience that using true DOS (not DOS box under Windows) seems to work the best for older Motorola radios. I use a Windows XP era laptop with a built in serial port (which is important, DOS cannot recognize a USB serial port) and boot DOS off a thumb drive. I realize this flies in the face of all the recommendations out there to use a slow PC, but I have had no problems programming my Maxtrac or any of my other assorted old Motorola radios. This is the setup I used when I worked for a Motorola shop and we had customers with older radios.
To set this up yourself:
With my setup I did not need Mo'Slo or any other CPU speed-reducing program. The laptop in question was a Dell Latitude D630, with a Core 2 Duo processor and more RAM than DOS can access. This setup works on my two Maxtracs, and has worked for 99% of the radios I've wanted to program.

I have had no luck getting any of the Motorola RSS software to run in a DOS box under windows 7 so I have an older laptop that I keep just for such occasions and it always works for me. In addition a further complication MIGHT be getting the DOS box to work with a USB style COMMPORT adapter. I would be far safer to just go back to the old style RS232 port on your old DOS computer. I doubt this helps you out a lot because most people today junk the older laptops in favor of the newer ones.
