Radio Doctor For Motorola Radius Gm300 Programming Software

The first two things I ran across was the “Radius GM300 Radio Doctor” over at and the original Motorola Radio Service Software (RSS). The GM300 Radio Doctor piece of software did a good job at being able to program this ancient radio with a “modern” OS like Windows XP. After searching for the genuine Motorola program I came across Motorola Radius GM300 Radio Doctor. This program runs fine under Windows XP and will do all the functions that the genuine Motorola radio service software does. Here is the main screen. See a video of the software in use.

Attention Ebay buyers and sellers: If you are buying or selling a MaxTrac, Radius mobile, or GM300 you need to read the warning on this page.

Any Motorola prices mentioned on this page (or on any page at this web site) should be taken only as a rough guideline. Motorola adjusts prices quarterly, and offers one set of prices to their dealers/service shops (the so called 'NSO' Pricing ('National Service Organization')), another to 'self-maintaining' fleet customers (i.e. those that have their own radio shops... cities, counties, police departments, fire departments, etc) and a third on their telephone order desk (i.e. retail sales to the public). Prices are changed quarterly, so use the mentioned prices only as a rough indication. If you encounter a large price change on anything where we've mentioned a price we'd appreciate an emailed update.


Radio Modification and Descriptive Articles:

Caution: A lot of the information in the articles below is valid only for MaxTracs and MaxTrac-based Radius radios (the Radius mobiles that have the letters LRA in the middle of the model number). The MaxTracs came first, then when Motorola needed radios to sell as Radius models (i.e. retail sales products) they changed the label and the firmware. There are some very slight differences, but there is a lot of commonality between the hardware (the circuit boards, etc) inside the MaxTrac and Radius LRA series mobiles.

Motorola Radius Gm300 User Manual

The later GM300 series (which includes the Radius M10, M120 and M130 radios) look a lot like the MaxTrac and Radius LRA series, have similar specifications and physical construction, but are actually quite different internally. The GM300 series do not respond well to being blanked by the MaxTrac Lab RSS. There is no Radius or GM300 series Lab RSS floating around (yet) so unsuspecting experimenters can turn one of these radios into an expensive brick if not careful. See the GM300 article below for more details.

Astron makes a power supply for the MaxTrac / Radius LRA / GM300 series that has a sleeve on the top that the radio slides into. The SL-11-RRA supplies 13.8V at 11 amps. Click here for a photo.

Note that the MaxTrac / Radius / GM300 radios have a 10% transmit duty cycle and that translates to 10 seconds of transmit and 90 seconds of receive, or 30 seconds of transmit and 4.5 minutes of receive. This is definitely not repeater service or any kind of amateur radio service that I'm familiar with! And besides, the rear mounted heat sink does not cool the pin diodes or any other PC-board mounted components. Reducing the transmit power can help, but some models have a minimum rated power level (like not less than 25 watts and not more than 45 watts). In other words, the MaxTrac, Radius and GM300 are nowhere near the conservatively rated and over-heat-sinked designs of the MICOR, Syntor or Mitrek era radios.

Manual Power Control of the MaxTrac PA deck By Robert Meister WA1MIK
When a MaxTrac (on any band) is run out of it's designed frequency range the power control routines in the firmware get confused. Unfortunately the confusion causes the radio to run the PA deck wide open, which can burn it up. This writeup gives a workaround.
Volume Control Replacement By Robert Meister WA1MIK
If you have a MaxTrac, Radius LRA or GM300 series radio that runs at full volume all the time, or either turning the volume control has no effect or causes a huge jump in volume, then you have a broken volume control (a common problem). It's a simple, inexpensive fix and this writeup walks you through the repair.

Converting a MaxTrac 146-174 MHz radio to 136-162 MHz for APRS use By Robert Meister WA1MIK
Some MaxTracs work on 144.39 MHz; others do not. Bob analyzed the radio's performance on both range splits and tells you what needs to be done to improve operation below 146 MHz. This was suggested by Scott KBØNLY who modified a bunch of radios in his area for APRS.
Getting a Line Output signal from a MaxTrac radio By Robert Meister WA1MIK
Often, MaxTracs are used to monitor police and fire calls in garages and fire departments. These are usually noisy environments and amplifiers and loudspeakers are installed to boost the signal. As always, there are multiple methods of interfacing to MaxTracs, but by far the hardest unit to use is the one with the 5-pin accessory jack. Here's a fairly painless way to get the desired signal out of such a radio. Step-by-step instructions are provided so even a technician who's unfamiliar with the radio can make it work.
Adding a Flat TX Audio Input to a 5-pin MaxTrac or Radius By Robert Meister WA1MIK
Only the radios with 16-pin logic boards have a flat TX audio input. Three extra components give you the same functionality on 5-pin logic boards.
Getting Discriminator Audio from a 5-pin MaxTrac radio by Scott Withrow, KC9LQV
MaxTrac and Radius mobiles with 5-pin accessory jacks are often overlooked because they lack signals such as discriminator (flat) receiver audio. Scott duplicated the circuitry from a 16-pin radio and added it to his 5-pin radio to get flat audio out of it. This article shows what he did.
Why the receive audio is lower on some MaxTracs than others by Robert Meister WA1MIK
