Excellent video. I have been into ham since 1994 and just got into GMRS in 22. Got my first Motorolas within the last few months. I could figure out a fair amount but this really helped. Thanks!!
What a great video my man. You have no idea how long I have been looking for someone to finally make a great vid like this on CPS. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for this video. I recently bought an XPS 3000 Model II and have struggled to get the correct equipment combo. Windows 10 did not work for me so I ended up buying an old Dell micro laptop running XP, and RIB interface, which did the trick, but your video pointed out that direct serial could also be used, so I got that cable and it worked (much less complicated). The video programming section helped me understand how to set up Analog and Astro channels, zones and scan lists which is much appreciated! Great video, keep it up - Dave, KE0NA
This is an amazing video!!! I thank you so very much. I have spent months trying to find a program that works. Then find a video that’ll help me understand. Then find an old WORKING laptop that would let me put all of this together!!! Absolutely great step by step video. I’m a computer guy, but needed a direction to go in. Thanks again.
I have programmed my xts3000 radios one time and I managed to flip flop the Tx and Rx freqs. This video is very informative for someone like me who is new to this software. Thanks.
Thanks for this great Vid. Getting into some P25, picked up a couple of these handhelds, one UHF one VHf, and this has made things much easier! Running a Panasonic CF-19 with windows 7 and hardware serial port, and it worked.
Wow! Thanks for doing this video! I knew pretty much nothing when I got my xts3000 and know I programed it on my own. Best video outthere! Great job ! John
Fantastic....Exactly what I needed after buying two older radios. I bought the software and such But really needed an idea of how it would all play out. The last 10mins are very important stuff. many thanks
This is a great video. I have an XTS2500 UHF and a XTS5000 VHF and have used this video for some programming functions in conventional. I would love to see programming the XTS2500 and XTS5000. There aren't many differences but there are some.
Astro25 is tricky to learn. But once you learn where/what everything is, it's not bad. And you can run it on a modern computer that's 64 bit. Just run the program as administrator and in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 3.
I have a Windows 10, 64 bit Dell, about 2 years old running the CPS without any issues and using the USB port to read and write. I also run APX software on the same computer using either blue tooth or cable, and again, without issues.
thanks so much for this video helped me get started programming my xts3000. if you ever feel like making another one of these about some of the other programming features I'm sure it would also be greatly appreciated. also I have been able to successfully program my radio with cps in a windows xp 32 bit virtual machine and an ftdi adapter cable. I don't think I would flash the firmware or flashcode with that setup but programming channels and everything seems to work fine.
I have not found that to be the case with the xts3000. The other radios in the xts lineup (2500, 5000, etc) use astro 25 cps which does work in compatibility mode. xts3000 cps will run in compatibility mode but won't communicate with the radio for some reason
@@ATI556 sheriff surplus auction but it wasn't cheap paid $3000, although I did get a good flashcode.... do you know where I can find any Astro25 CPS R20.50.10 software to download I want to get my old xts up and running again.
@@johngotti123 20.50.10 is the latest Firmware, not CPS. You sure you don't need the firmware file? If you need CPS there is a video on programming the XTS5000 by a Mark. E. In the comments there is a link to the file you seek.

Hi and th a nks for the video. I do have one question though. Is there a way to switch between scan list. As I travel I monitor the county that I am in (my old FD) and ham Frequency and the county I live in now along with different ham freqs. My one list has 15 channels and my other has 7 channels. Is there a way to toggle or set up switching on the XTS 3000 Model II to do this ??? Thanks in advance on your response back. Mike
Cant you program the Switches A, B, and C to have completely different 16 channels from the other switches for a possible 48 max different channels on the radio? Because thats what I did to all the MTS 2000 Flashports that I have
You can set abc to be different zones. You can also just switch zones from the menu. The radios hold much more than 16 channels. And more than 3 zones. Can't remember offhand, but it's a lot
Awesome video!!! I do have a question... It wont let me name my zones.... as of right now i have 2 Zones im going to be adding more soon but it wont let me name my zones.. is it because i only have 2 zones or can you help me figure it out please? Thanks in advance
Hi. Great video. I get an error message when I go to upload to the radio. It says can't upload to radio without advanced system keys. How do I rectify that? Also the radio has a lot of trunk freqs in it that I don't need. How do I delete them? Thanks 73 Joe W2JJT
A video like that would be neat, but you can not program the trunking personalities without a system key file which you're not going to get legitimately. The issue is that if you had that file and if you programmed a 5000 for a trunking system, and if you inhibited ptt and disabled integrated data, the radio still would send in registration ISPs to the system via the control channel. The system administrators are not going to like seeing unknown IDs or duplicate IDs and they can take your Astro ID and brick your radio if you try to do that. The alternative would be to set up conventional personalities to scan the trunking voice channels assuming the system is FDMA only. That method isn't going to track talkgroup calls perfectly, but with a little hang time on the scan, it does a pretty good job and with tx disable it is totally legit to do with no interference to the system operation. It's completely passive listening.
The NAS method does work nut you must depending on firmware version ensure ALL relevant boxes need to be unchecked to prevent any data packets from trying to phone home. There is one version of firmware where it doesn't allow you to disable WUID I forget which version believe it was the final harris update for the xts so they'd run on Harris systems without issues. Not everyone was suppose to grt this update but idiots try to get it for no useful reason.
@@lifeisamatrix5960 If there is a checkbox in CPS that disables ISPs, I've never seen it. The Harris update you mention, is that the one for OBT systems?
Interesting vid. Have a question I got Motorola xts 3000 turns on shows programed channel..I know it's programed from where it came from but I can't get the program buttons to function

Hello, I became the proud owner of xts3000, but I have a problem: cps cannot connect to the radio station. win xp, usb to com(rs232). first, the radio goes into 1 csq mode, and then the error "failed connection with radio" flies on the computer screen. What am I doing wrong and what should I do to make it work? thanks in advance
I was thinking about getting one of these (MOTOROLA XTS5000) to listen to my local Police. They use P25 no encryption. Is the CPS hard to find on the web? They use 800 Mhz
The software is called Astro25 CPS. What you're trying to do is called non-affiliate scan. You need to make damn sure you do it properly, or you'll run into big problems if the radio affiliates to the system. There's instructions for it online. Just make sure you do it 100% correctly.
Great video, thank you. I need to transmit on a frequency that lies in the public safety band, so I need their band radio. I've heard that there's a setting in the software to block a signal from public safety agencies that can enter your radio and brick it. What is that setting?
Hey man, great video. Have you got a link for the cable you have? I think I might have cable probs. When I read the device, the radio beeps and shows 1 CSQ on the screen, then I get an error message of of the cps. Not sure if it is the cable.

Under Radio Information S/N ----- can't enter anything. It doesn't allow me to change the s/n in the CPS. I have asked around and haven't gotten anything to help me.
Go to tools, cloning, clone radio. Change the serial number to match the serial number of your radio. (If you don't know it, read the radio and find it under radio information) Note however, if the flash code between what you intend to write, and the radio itself don't match, you can't write it. You'll need to export then import everything. There will be error to clear out. Can't help ya with that
Can someone please help with RMN5038A for the XTS2500 Astro? PTT works fine, emergency button on radio is programmed properly. The RSM emergency button will not function.

We set the revert to the main channel and now it won’t work at all!? Any advice?

What you where told is somewhat true, these radios are monoband which means they only use VHF, UHF 1, UHF 2 and 800. Encrtyption however can be turned off.
I also have a problem. I'm using a Windows 7 Panasonic Toughbook that has a serial port on it as well as the latest xts software / firmware to program my XTS Radios.

@@ATI556 do you know how to program? i bought on and can't get it to do anything. or link a video
If you could make a video on how to get rid of the codeplug password that would be great. I'm starting to think I was scammed.
What model radio do you have?
@@ATI556 XTS5000, I bought it on eBay and it came with a codeplug password. I can’t figure out how to get around it. The seller was just a 3rd party company selling these for the original party. They were no help when I tried to get the password from them.
How do I get the CPS Software?

I can't find the similar programming software for the XTS 2500. Will your XTS 3000 work on the 2500?
You'll need Astro 25 Portable CPS. The same one used for the xts5000
Where do I get the CPS software from?

Well I accidentally got an 800mhz so I’m going have to use it in the in rural areas now
Do you know how to program an XTS 2500?
The concept is similar. Is there something specific you are having issues with?
@@ATI556 My radio is currently locked, I'm trying to use the ASTRO 25 Tuner
@@nightshift3002 what type of radio is it?
@@ATI556 XTS 2500, just recently I accidentally activated the tactical inhibit mode so I pretty much killed the radio.
@@nightshift3002 if you cant access the radio via software and you can't read or right to it then it has been bricked.
I program them for ham radio
Folks if you're watching this video and do not already have a XTS 3000, DO NOT get one. Instead get a XTS 2500 or 5000, they are much better, and much easier to program
Can you or do you know anyone that will do non-affiliated scan for me ????
I don't do trunking, however there are sometimes ebay listings that will program some radios to scan.
Hi. I need a little help. When I have my radio on scan I would like to press the PTT and have it go to my own frequency or go to my priority frequency if that makes sense. I listen to the fire dept but when I want to talk to my guys I want to be able to press the PTT and talk when I’m done it should automatically go back to scanning. I have the CPS I just can’t figure it out can you or anyone tell me what to press or touch ? Please and Thank You
When scanning, pressing PTT should transmit on the selected channel (not the current scan channel)
What’s the website
Anyone have the astro 25 cps compatible with xts 2500

Can someone help me get mine programed
What seems to be the issue?
Its stuck in trunking mode or whatever and I need to get the ffp access so I can program it but I don't have any cables or software to set it up
Unfortunately the only way to get out of trunking mode is actually have the cable and the software other than that there's no way of getting out of it
