CommandPlus Console Old Firmware

Post by Two Tone »

So I obtained an older Motorola CommandPlus console from an auction for about $50. It works great, however the software package I purchased from GAI-Tronics (Moto no longer supports i suppose) does not support the older firmware. Currently installed is "CPK1F HOST3H MAST2G". I called GAI-Tronics and after talking to several people, they were not able to help find a solution. Hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction, or am I SOL?

-Thanks!

My understanding is you have to purchase new firmware to bring it up to date. It's about $660 last I inquired about this. I've also heard that CARDS is supposed to just work even with the really old consoles.
