Programming Software — Motorola Gm950

There are a few versions of the programming software available, including:

Many guides mention a "RIB" (Motorola part # RLN4008). The GM950 is one of the few radios that does not strictly need a RIB for most functions if you have a correctly wired "RIB-less" cable. A RIB-less cable has a transistor or level shifter inside the DB-9 connector. However, for absolute stability (especially for tuning), using a genuine RIB adds a layer of protection against static and voltage spikes. Motorola Gm950 Programming Software
