Hello,
I have a old programming cable for a XTS5000 that was ribless. The cable broke so I now have the part that connects to the radio. I would like to put on a DB25 connector on the cable and connect that to my RIB. Would this work and if so does anyone know the pinout?

Thanks,
Mike

It will not work. All XTS5000 use either USB or direct serial, there is no RIB cable for one.

The computer/CPS will not read a XTS5K codeplug throught the RIB. What you mentioned doing would result in a XTS3K programming cable. I have a PDF of the universal connector on the side of the radio (it's from the Detailed Service Manual) I can email to you. It might help in figuring out the pin-out of the programming cable.
