Really finally, and same caveat: once you have assembled radio, PC, CPS, cable and requisite expertise, it is NOT true that you are free to program anything you want into the radio. It is a tad more complicated than programming a consumer-type scanner. Finally, and please don't take this the wrong way: Motorola programming software assumes that the user has a fair degree of technical knowledge, both about radios in general and about Motorola radios in particular. My strong advice is to use only OEM Motorola cables.ĥ.
Older cables also required a RIB (Radio Interface Box) between PC and RIB-to-Radio cable newer cables run directly from PC to radio. You will also need a programming cable different cables for different radios or groups of radios. Cost varies but is in the range of $300 per.Ĥ. Each CPS has to be purchased from Motorola, and comes in the form of a subscription: current copy and all updates for next couple of years. You must use a CPS "version" that is equal to or later than the firmware version in the radio, otherwise a "read" attempt results in "Codeplug Too New" error message.ģ.
For instance, Astro 25 Portable does XTS 1500, 25, but not (for instance) XTS 3000 or Astro Saber. There is a different application for each model or group of models of radios. 12, none of the CPS will run under Vista.Ģ. Note that: (A) you can run an RSS in a DOS window under Windows, but do NOT attempt to write to the radio, is it may be fatally corrupted using RSS requires a machine running native DOS and (B) with the possible exception of Astro25 CPS v. "CPS" is likewise for Windows-based applications, for newer radios. "RSS" is a nickname for DOS-based programming applications, mainly for older radios.
