GM300 Information Page Motorola GM300 Information Page By Robert W. Meister WA1MIK The GM300 was Motorola's next step in the MaxTrac / Radius mobile product lines. The schematics are remarkably similar. You can even interchange some boards between the GM300 and MaxTrac radios.
Like the MaxTrac, the GM300 line has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Throughout this article, reference to MaxTrac radios implies Radius radios as well. Naturally, you need different programming software (RSS), but if you've ever programmed a MaxTrac, you'll be right at home with the GM300. The radios operate the same, too.
See below for more info on the RSS and programming. GM300 mobile radios cover the VHF (136-174 MHz in two ranges) and UHF (403-520 MHz in four ranges) bands, with 8 or 16 channels, 12.5 or 20/25/30 kHz channel spacing, and 10, 25, and 35-45 watt power levels.
They use the same accessories (loudspeakers, microphones, accessory plugs, power cords, mounting brackets, etc.) as the MaxTracs. The M120 radio is just about the same as a GM300 but has 'less features' - this would be the 2-channel version, equivalent to a MaxTrac 50. There is also an M10 single-channel radio, and an M130 2-channel radio that is an M120 with the GM300's signaling capabilities.
The 16ch GM300 radio uses the expanded logic board with firmware in an EPROM that gives you the ability to program several of the accessory jack pins and also gives you several signalling systems, such as MDC1200. The 8ch GM300 and the M-series all use the masked logic board that has no programmable pins. The masked logic board also has limited code plug space, hence fewer channels and less capabilities.
Here's a front view photo of a 16-channel MaxTrac, a 16-channel GM300, and a 2-channel MaxTrac: GM300 Model Numbers: The first six characters are pretty much standard Motorola convention. The IF frequency is usually 45.1 MHz but if you have multiple radios near each other, this can cause interference, so you can optionally order the radio with an alternate IF frequency.

The GM-series can be 2, 8, or 16 channel radios. The XV and XQ may be used by the M10, M120, and M130 radios. The second six characters provide a lot of useful information about the capabilities of the radio and the boards contained within it.

This is a 40 watt, UHF radio, 45.1 MHz IF, narrow spacing (12.5 kHz), 16 channels, expanded logic board, 438-470 MHz band. It is rare that the model number includes the specific frequency range the radio is capable of handling (10th character).
You don't get that lucky with MaxTracs, Spectras, etc. I wish all the model numbering was so useful. It is NOT practical to change the frequency range for which the radio was manufactured. The RF board and PA assembly are frequency-dependent; the logic board and front panel are not. As the model number tells you which range the radio is, if you end up with the wrong one (assuming the radio hasn't been thrown together out of spare parts or had modules swapped) it's your own fault for not doing your homework. The expanded logic board has its firmware contained in a socketed EPROM, which can be replaced. The masked logic board has its firmware permanently stored in the soldered-in microprocessor IC.
People have apparently modified the RSS to get 16 channels from masked logic board radios and 40 channels from expanded logic board radios. It would appear that GM300s are not capable of any form of trunking operation. However they can do G-Star signaling for use with GE radio systems.
There are other models, such as M10, that are often called GM300. This article is specifically oriented towards the radios with 'GMC' in the model number. Specifications: Click on the image to enlarge it. Note that a revision to the service manual shows two VHF ranges: 136-162 MHz and 146-174 MHz. Also, the power levels are continuously variable throughout the three ranges: 1-10, 10-25, 25-45 watts. Board Numbers: This list is sorted alphabetically by Function, then Description.
I have a Motorola GM300 that I've been trying to reprogram for a while. The radio looks brand new witch has nothing programmed into it, it has never been used. I've downloaded several GM300 programming files none of them have worked the software can't read the radio. I'm assuming that MS-DOS versions won't work for the GM300 that I have however I've not found any windows versions of the software. I came across something in yahoo called Radio Doctor witch is Windows based and apparently runs under XP on a modern computer and it allows you to add more channels to the radio. I've not managed to find any download links for this fantastic software or any further info in regards to where to find the software. I understand this radio can go up to 40 channels witch is ideal for Amateur use on 70cm witch I plan on using this radio for as a back up radio.
I'm really confused as to why none of the GM300 DOS based software will read the codeplug? Do I need to change some jumpers on the radio perhaps? My programming cable isn't the problem as I've used it to program other radios. I've just dug out 2 old laptops from my attic unfortunately none of them are 486's but they are very old. Typically the one that had MS-DOS & Win95 installed has a bad hard drive and the other laptop has no OS installed at all. I used to have MS-DOS 6.22 on 3 floppy disks I wonder if there still available?
Maybe I can download them. I was gonna throw these old laptops away but I'll think I'll hang on to them now I wonder how ebay sellers program their GM300's that offer free programming.
