The PR860 is programmed using Motorola proprietary software (available to dealers and some entities by subscription), a radio interface box (RIB), and cable. Easiest method is to visit your local dealer or send in to a nationwide repair center for programming.
take the motorola radio to a motorola dealer and 1) make sure it's a VHF version, and 2) have the dealer enable FPP (Front panel programming). Also be sure to have the dealer explain what each of the ABCD buttons do for programming (can be configured via programming software)
"No longer supported" means they don't repair them at their repair depot anymore. However, software for most models is still available. All Motorola software is by subscription, and they choose who can obtain a subscription. You must be a Channel Partner (dealer) or meet their criteria for obtaining it.
Most 800 MHz radios are trunking radios, and require a tower system to operate. Many towers in this bandsplit have been shutdown or retired due to changes in the licensing/availability of 800 MHz frequencies.
If you are planning on operating the radios with a tower system, see the owner of the system for programming. If you are wanting to use the radios in simplex (radio-to-radio), you could get them programmed at a full-line Motorola dealer. You will need to provide your FCC assigned frequencies.
The model number you mention is incomplete, and I could not determine which of the softwares you might need.
The M1225 mobile is Motorola dealer programmable using the appropriate Motorola software, radio interface box (RIB) and programming cable. The cost for this type of programming is generally $15-$25.
The SP50 is dealer programmable. The software, cable and RIB (radio interface box) are necessary for programming this unit. If you are needing to match an existing unit, you can have the radio programmed at your local dealer or by shipping your radios to a service center. (Typically $15 to $25 US)
When looking for the second radio, be certain to get an SP50 with the same model number as your existing unit to ensure they will work together properly. Model numbers beginning with P93 are VHF and P94 are UHF.
The CM300 is programmable using Motorola propietary software, cable and RIB (radio interface box). The software is primarily available to Motorola dealers. The easiest way to have the radio programmed is to take or send your mobile radio to a dealer. Typically programming is around $25 for this unit.
If you provide the model number, it would be possible to give you more information about your radio. It can be VHF or UHF, 25, 40 or 45 watt. You could also google the model number. The model number begins with AAM50...
