Thanks for all of these links, finally going to get an older DTR410 updated.
Looks like I also made the mistake of buying the cheap ($20) cable on ebay. In all fairness, all I thought I needed to do at the time was reprogram some old hand-me-down radios but I just can’t stand that beep so I’m hoping to upgrade the firmware. I have 1 650 and 7 550’s. Wish me luck!
If you follow the instructions in the DTRFlash_UserGuide, you’ll be fine.
Nice package of flashing cable and programming cable (with USB adapter) from amerizon will get you set up for about $120
I am also looking for the Motorola DTR flash cable, unable to find one via searching, any other ideas?
Seems you only have a few choices now since these cables seem to not be made anymore.

I’d be happy to flash anyone’s DTRs, but you’d have to pay shipping to and from Calgary, and of course, no guarantees on success.
This site is where I got my cable from, and in checking tonight, it does say the cable is no longer available. It also says to contact them for alternatives. Hopefully in checking with these people you can achieve your goal.

Thanks
This helps in my programming.
Sometimes the cable appears on eBay…

I don’t need to update the FW any of my DTR650s but I’m interested in getting a USB flash cable in case I need to update any older DTRs.
I’m having just as tough of a time finding an NNTN6367A USB flash cable like everybody else. In my searching, I found a Motorola USB flash cable for their TETRA terminals in Europe. Is this possibly the same cable?

It doesn’t look the same, but the only way to know for sure if it works would be to take a chance and buy it. Make sure there’s a return policy if it doesn’t.
Get the one off eBay if you want to be sure.
If anyone is interested in a firmware flashing cable # NNTN6367A, there is one listed on an EBay auction at the link below: As of this posting there is slightly over six days left on the auction.
At the following link you will find a brand new NNTN6367A flashing cable:
Take a look at the following:
I have several DTRs (410, 550, 650) around. I believe they are with old firmware. I am at San Francisco Bay Area. Anyone nearby who has the cable and is willing to help me out? I can pay some fees.
hi, anyone has information on where to get a flashing cable? thanks.
$184 is just too much for a simple cable. by the way, can I program radio with the flashing cable?
I agree, but how much would you pay for a bottle of water in the desert? People charge what they can get.
The flash cable is only for updating the firmware. The CPS cable (which is still easy enough to find) is used for programming the radio. Please read my “Start here” thread and have a look at the manual for more information.
when I left Nextel, I threw away a huge box of cables, batteries, etc. I bet they worth something nowadays.
Are flash cables available anywhere?
