Hi Guys,
Sorry if there is already a thread about this but I couldn't find one. I have the above mentioned radio and need to program it to work with a Riedel Riface system. Unfortunately, Riedel has nothing to do with my problem. I have an after market RIB Cable with all sorts of fancy connections which I have tested with my supplier and therefore know it works. Every time I try and read my device, I get an error which reads the following: 'Couldn't open port. Check weather device/RIB are powered on or not, and the device to RIB, and RIB to PC connection is ok.' I am using a USB to RS232 converter which has also been tested and works. The software I am using is R03.11.16 on a windows 7 professional 64bit laptop. Radio info is as follows: SW R03.15.00 CP R8.00 I have tried everything I can think of to get this working and it seems to be something on my PC that doesn't allow the port to be opened. Are there any suggestions about what might be causing my problem?

This article also applies to GP320, GP330, GP360, GP380 radios. But this article does not apply to GP640 and GP680 as, whilst they share the same accessory/programming socket, GP6xx radios require different software.
What Do I Need?![]()
We recommend that you go for an after-market USB cable which will make your life a little easier. We’ll concentrate on that option here. But for convenience, we have put details of the genuine programming kit at the end of this article. Note: The GP340 and GP344 have different accessory and programming sockets but they use the same software.

Operating System Compatibility
We have tried and tested ENLN4115GP Professional Series CPS on both Windows XP and Windows 7. We have also tried it with Windows 10 which also worked well (after a system restart). We’re unsure if it will work on Windows 8. If you try it and find it does work, please email us [email protected] and let us know.

Here’s a list of everything you’ll need to create a genuine programming kit. You’ll need a Radio Interface Box and a bunch of other things. This is a serial cable programming kit so you’ll also need a USB to RS232 Cable – which we also sell on our website (click here) for around £20+VAT.

If you’d like to upgrade the firmware in your Motorola GP340, you’ll also need a HLN9742D flash adapter which only works with the genuine RIB box (and you’ll need everything in the list above). We’ve tried firmware updates using an aftermarket RIB box, and whilst the aftermarket RB box works for programming – it did not work for firmware updates.
