Motorola CPS Software - Walkthrough And Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- A look at the Motorola Customer Programming Software. This demo uses an XT420 radio connected to a PC using the official USB programming cable.
Although I'm not an expert in this software, I couldn't find much out there showing how this software works so I felt a demonstration might be useful.
Let me know if you have any questions or please comment if I've made any mistakes. I'd also be interested to know how extensive the options are when using this software with an XT600d radio. I may investigate this further in the future.

Fantastic ! Thank you
Thank you for the video. Very helpful.
Hi , where can I download/get that software? Thanks
In Radio information the upper frequency on my XT460 is 446.193750 MHz, meaning it is compatible with the upper eight channels. However there's no option to add those upper eight channels. From what I have found online you must have a license key to be able to do that. Bummer! Other than that the CPS software is a neat little package. Being able to change the functions of the buttons is a nice feature. I have the B button as the scramble setting, very convenient to be able to unscramble the gibberish on the fly.
Do you think that the latest download of the CPS software might enable the full 16 channels?
You need an EID licence to unlock for the newer channels circa £120! Not really worth it as it’s the same cost as a new radio!
I’ve added today with the cable: click register and then ask send to the service the radio number, they turn back with the license number: at this point you click on ADD!
Hello. I use a motorola cm140 in my car to comunicate with my coworkers and with the dispatch. When I push the ptt button of the microphone, on the dispatch radio appears a number(mine is 304). Can someone tell me what is the name of that function?
Updated: with cps I added the new 8pmr channels
how did you get the software what do i search for it and where do i go?
hello I bought some xt420 second hand , I have the cps cable , downloaded the cps but , "The CPS service is not available now". ..... please advise
I have a set of 2 of this radios. Channel 2 is set to communicate tomeach other. How do i programm channel 3 to programm them again and how do i program other channels like police or other puclic frequencies and m i able to communicate or just listen to them. And last question can i programm a standard regular walkie to work with the motorolas
CPS version 2 doesn’t seem to support the XT460 or the XT660d 😢
Will the CPS software work with the CP1208 model? Newbie here! 😀
can i program a ht12500 with this?
I was really into getting one of these (XT420 or 460), but the fact VOX is either on or off and you need access to computer to configure VOX level is dead on stupid. How do they expect you to configure VOX level? Run to the place where radio is going to be used, test VOX then run back to the computer/admin to have it adjusted and repeat that until you figure out which one works. Also it's really stupid that you can't enable/disable VOX through one of the programmable buttons.
Silly thing is their cheaper (TLKR series) have all of this figured out quite nicely.
Thats not true anymore with my new xt660d i can change vox within the settings on the display (newest firmware i guess)
@@JanSt12 That's good to hear. I've been eyeing XT660D lately but can't really justify the price considering how much I use these radios.
using a dtr700 and the official motorola cable, when the webpage opens for the software. i get a "site can't be reached" error, all my drivers are up to date and the cable is detected in device manager, any ideas?
Page 47 of the downloadable XT 420 user manual suggests that, even though the radio is provided with 8 channel frequencies, it can be opened up the the later extra 8 channel frequencies making it a true 16 channel radio. I wondered if you have been able to do this with your XT 420?
Interesting. That's changed since I bought mine so it's possible that the models I have don't allow this but current radios do. 16 channels is completely standard now but are often locked (XT185 for example). I'll have to take a look and get back to you.
@@tdcattech After reading out the XT420 using the CPS it should show You the possible frequency range of Your specific device. The XT420 showed me full range from 446,00625 up to 446,19375 MHz. Since I recently bought a new XT460 with all 16 channels enabled. I copied the settings in the CPS and wrote it to my XT420. Even tough the 460 has some extra settings it worked without any problems. Maybe (as You already wrote) it has to be a newer model. My two XT420s were built in 2021.
If You need a XT460 profile for CPS, I can send it to You.
@@2beer_OR_NOT_2beer I am very interested by your XT460 CPS profile ! I commented one of your video directly on your channel to get in touch but it might have been hidden by youtube. I would be very grateful if you could check it out :)
Is this the same software that is used to program an APX6000?
No, it won’t be exactly the same but the overall interface and style will most probably be identical. Just different options due to the radio type.
73 hello I have a Motorola mtp850 with 380/430 mhz frequencies I have the tetra software but it asks me for an identifier and an activation code !! and it is impossible for me to transfer the tetra software from the PC to the Motorola mtp850, if you have a solution to give me I really thank you very much cordially
Hi! I read that this radio station can be opened up to 2 watts in power!
Can you tell me how to do it?
Did they say on the Radioscanner website that it could be done somehow? The question is how?
If you can, I do not know how to do it. It would make sense though as I think that's the power output in the US and I doubt they design a completely different radio if they could do one and change it in software. Sorry, I can't help.
Can you do 12 frequencies on a mts2000 under 1 profile ?
So that I can have 1 zone with 12 channels ?
Is there an updated link I can use? I have 2 cp110 with display screen. The store I worked for upgraded to the new fancy do everything phones so the mgr asked me if I could use the radios. I only took 2. I did have some personal icom radios when I worked in an RV park but sold them (dumb) when I left. I don't use them very often but you can't pass on free. I found out months later they need to be programmed for certain channels. They could not find the software disk. So I hope you can help me.
i am getting the cps service is not aviable please wait a minute ans then refresh the page
How mr ??
For xir P6620i ,please
Did the software come with the cable? Just looking at playing around with my XT660D.
The cable will usually come with it's respective drivers on a disc. Mototrbo will typically need to be purchased from a distributor or downloaded from a sharing site.
what about xir p3688 software?
Will this work with a Motorola HT1250?
Do you have a link to the software needed to configure the RDU4100?
Email me
battery save, can miss channels in scan mode on wake up time! why they put it in there.
Nope, battery save is disabled in scan mode. It wouldn’t make any sense.
How does the scramble mode sound if one doesn't have that feature?
Just a weird garbled mess. Totally unintelligible to a casual listener but definitely not secure (as it’s easy to descramble)
How do I download the software?
Can you help me understand this statement from the users manual? And how the short pressing SB1 actually works?
"Please note that when radio is receiving or transmitting,
LED is always RED. In order to listen to all activity on a
current channel, short press the SB1 button to set the
CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is called CTCSS/
DPL Defeat (Squelch set to SILENT)."
For example, I was on channel 3 today, with no CTCSS/DCS set. Well it was set to 0 (zero). Now, by short pressing the SB1 button, it sets the code to 0 ... but it is already on 0 anyways. So I press this SB1, and I cannot hear anyone, I press again and all goes back to normal.
I cannot understand how can squelch be SILENT?? Squelch is either CLOSED or OPEN, in "normal" radios you can set how very CLOSED it is.
When pressing the SB1 button, there is either high tone or low tone. I can never remember what each does, and later I find myself not hearing anything.
Thnx.
Can I program Motorola SL300 with this software?
Nope, I don’t think so. The SL300 uses Radio Management Suite which is the next stage on from CPS (though still a bit messy, I have heard)
what version of CPS works for Motorola CP200d? Thanks!
did you ever figure this out?
im looking for the same information right now.
How to reset CP 7668
Can I do the CP200 with this?
No it’s just for Motorola XT420 & XT460 PMR446 radios
Hello, and how are you all?
I hope you help me and send a direct link to download the Verizon Model MOTOTRBO CPS 16.0
Or send me a site where I find this program
Please, please, please
Does it reset the radio or reboot it?
Just the same as turning it off and back on again with the power switch.
Where do you get the codeplug password?
can you not set a custom frequency?
Not with the radio I was using here as it’s a fixed PMR446 radio. You can with most standard business radios.
@@tdcattech Ok so I just found the same software online (I had to look under a couple rocks). What does 'session time' mean? What happens once the session time runs out? Also, why do you need a CD-ROM drive?
Thank you :)
The software essentially installs a local web server which the software uses to do its thing. It’s so you could host the software on one machine but program from multiple different machines on a LAN. Hence the need to have a session time limit. It’s web based so needs to timeout for security. You don’t need a CD-ROM for anything that I’ve ever seen. Hope that helps.
@@tdcattech maybe software can be hacked to change the frequency.
@@Ixquick979 Nope, you need to have Repair or Depot authorization in Business CPS to do frequency reprogramming. And they're Motorola (and their contractors) internal.

hi give me Link pleases
Contact your local Motorola dealership. Depending on a region, the CPS providers vary.
(Only in Americas you can register an account on Motorola Online directly and purchase the software there.)

Whats software can i use to program the xrp7550
Can I program Motorola SL1600 with this software?
Can I program a Motorola xts3000 with this software
I don't think so. I took a quick look online but couldn't confirm.
No, plain and simple, it requires a special software package designed for this series of professional radios. At this point it might be unobtanium from Motorola since this radio is out of production. The bigM is finnikey with their programming software. One must understand that they go to extreme measurers to protect their intellectual property. Radios produced some 25 years ago that were programmable are bricks unless you find someone with the software to program them. To protect their software the big M employees attorneys in Washington DC to continually renew the copyright on their software every nine to ten years. In doing so legally no one can pass along a copy of the software, they would be violating their license agreement with M. To further protect their bottom dollar they no longer produce the software for sale. It forces you to purchase new radios or go to great lengths to find someone to program the radios. As legal owners of the software they can charge whatever they want and can demand you show your license for the frequencies you want programmed in so as they will not be held liable for any abuse of the radios. It’s not fair or right but unless one has more money than M to fight them it’s a no win solution. Before the war with Ukraine there were some Russian web sites that had various M software on them. Many times it was an outdated version and useless. A nasty trick M plays is they might release newer versions of the same software. If you send a radio back to M for service they will hit it with the latest software. If you try to read or write the radio with your older version of software, your out of luck. What worse is if that newer version of software is not sold due to obsolescence, you wind up with an item for your nicknack shelf.
