Ok so i guess we have no members on this board from Australia

is there anybody here who can offer up a sugestion as to were i can get this done or how i can do it myself

as stated earlier i am not into radio communication, my only foray into the communication world was back in the very early 80's when we played with 27Mhz gear

i have a Genuine copy of the CPS software & the cables to accive what i need done, all i need is the knowalage to do it or somebody that can let me know what i need to do

i know how to program the extra channels into the radio but dont know how to do the privacy part of the deal so nobody else can listen into our conversation

all help appreciated
regards

I don't know the CP200 very well, but I'm assuming you're referring to PL/DPL. If so, you have apparently misunderstood what it does. "Private Line" is a coded-squelch system. It doesn't provide voice privacy or encryption.

See this Wikipedia article for more information on CTCSS:
