Unless something's happened in the last few weeks I don't know about, R12 CPS for Astro 25 portables is the latest version that's been released. The last CPS version to program the radio determines the revision number needed to read/write to it. Since the host/DSP versions are in the 12 series, you can guarantee it's going to take R12 CPS. Earlier versions will not work. I don't believe the less significant revisions (i.e. R12.00.01 vs R12.00.00) will make a difference when it comes to the CPS version, R12 should work. Somebody else may be able to correct me on that.

I have 2 dozen host 12.00.01 radios, in all bands, that came in 2 weeks ago and CPS 12.00.00 works just fine programming them.

The Moto shops generally will not touch the 123... serialized radios. Were you watching the Yellow XTS5k that was in British Columbia?
