Programming Software (CPS)
These radios program using the latest CPS R05.03.00 which can be tough to source online... (Thanks /\/\) Given the fact that these units are far past EOL and are becoming more popular in the HAM and GMRS communities it would be nice to see it become easier to acquire.
Here is a handy google search...
These things are more aggrivating to program than the XTL/XTS series radios even though the CPS looks similar between the two. You must create personalities for each "mode" and then in a seperate section of the CPS attach that personality to a "Zone Chanel Assignment". None of the frequency/pl/scan/signalling information can be changed in the ZCA screen. Unless it is a bulk sale, I do not offer programming for these besides a few test channels to the buyer.
