I think it's pretty obvious that it's for Astro 25, since current Astro CPS is in the R05's...

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

13.00.00.xxxxx was supposed to be the "magic" #, WTFO?
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Hey you guys know what the latest Astro25 firmware release is? I've got some RB 2500 mobiles with 12.00.14 and have to do an upgrade and only have 12.00.11 .cvn files on the CD. Do you know if anything higher than .14 is available?
