Taking messages "off group" is not what our community is about. If you post a question here, we'd like to see the solution to your question posted here as well, for the enlightenment of the community.

I don´t have any skills with the Tetra radios until now,but I know a little about the CPS.
You can try to unpack the cps_dat.zip and load the firmwarefile direct.
The zip password is (gogol) ,for all Tetra CPS versions!

It looks like you have a bad codeplug in your radio.This can only be fixed with the CPS in lab mode.
I don´t have found a way to modify the latest CPS yet.I have only a way for a old Dimetra CPS.You can try this,but I think your radio is not supported by the CPS.
