Motorola MCS2000 questions

Post by sheldon »

Hi,

Im looking to find out what was the last manufactured (most current) version of CPS made for the MCS2000 as well as an itemised list of the part/model numbers for all the programming cables and RIB boxes.

Also, does anyone know if there is a USB programming cable made for the MCS2000?

Any help provided is much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure the newest CPS for the MCS2000 is RVN4175V R2.02.00, tuner R2.01.00.

The radio uses the standard RLN4008 RIB (I use an RLN4008E). Not sure on the cable since I made my own from pinouts on this site.

Didn't know there was a 2.03.00...2.02.00 has a copyright date in 2006, wasn't the MCS discontinued shortly thereafter?
