Codeplug Question
Ok, question for the experts... Someone programs a radio using RSS, CPS or Depot... Most likely an earlier version of the software... Now lets say I read the radio and save the codeplug via a newer CPS. I keep a copy saved in a safe place... I then modify the codeplug, save it to a new file and write back to the radio using my same newer CPS. I use the radio with my modifications but later want to put it back exactly the way it was... Can I write back the original codeplug I saved with my CPS and will it be exactly like it was before I changed it? Or will it forever be altered with my version of CPS and no longer be able to be read by earlier versions of software?

How many places are you going to ask this same question?
Bottom line is if you use a Windows version of the radio software, after using a newer version, going backwards can not be done.

Wow Jim,
Relax a little... Better chance of getting the question answered if I ask around... As it stands, the best answer I got was from another site... Thanks to all who answered my question...
"i am sure if you just read the radio with a newer CPS then try read it with an older ver you will get codeplug too new.
if you make an ARC with the depot no changes are made to the codeplug.
if you write an ARC no changes are made.
if you use the depot to edit the codeplug it will make changes to the memory locations in the codeplug that checks what cps and when it was done."
