 ====== Motorola GM1280 ======
-The Motorola GM1280 support trunking, but also has a "conventional" mode which makes it useful for packet radio. It has been found to work with the 9600 baud GFSK mode which is great for a fast packet link.

 ===== Programming for Packet Use =====
-You will need to obtain the "Motorola CPS for MPT Professional Radios" software for programming (Windows only). The exact version required may depend on the model/version of the radio, but version R00.08.08 was found to work for a UHF radio whose label listed "Type: MW504AD".
+You will need to obtain the "Motorola CPS for MPT Professional Radios" software for programming (Windows only, confirmed working on Windows 10). The exact version required may depend on the model/version of the radio, but version R00.08.08 was found to work for a UHF radio whose label listed "Type: MW504AD".
 A programming cable can be built from a USB-TTL adapter (5v worked for me), RJ45 plug, and a diode (almost any diode will do it seems). The RX and TX from the TTL adapter are connected to a single pin on the RJ45 via this diode, as in the diagram below, following the conventional pin numbers for the RJ45.
