Well here is a strange one, can anyone shed any light on this?

Scenario:
Laptop running win 98se
CPS R02.00.01
Factory rib
MTS20000 Model one
H01rdd9pw1bn
code plug 0009
firmware 05.41
H37
Last programmed Dos RSS

Here is what is happening. I can read the radio fine, and when I make changes to the cp, then write it, I get a "checking codeplug" message then nothing. Radio goes into programming mode, and does the standard beeps. But it does not program it. Info screen still shows DOS rss

I get NO error messages, no indication that it is NOT being loaded. I do not have another MTS2K that I can try this with, but the pc has programmed them before along with Visars, and GP300's

Any ideas or do you need more info??

HELP!!!

I had a similar problem with a county top-display MTS2k, except in my case it wouldn't even read. RSS read the radio fine.

Maybe a problem with the truly aincient MTS2k's? The one I had this problem on was manufactured back in '93.

Yep, this is just one of many posts indicating the pre-toolproof firmware versions aren't compatible with the CPS.

ok, so I have to hunt up a RSS newer than 6.0 right??

I'm assuming that you've already tried reading it with your current version of RSS, and it's reported codeplug too new?

yep, and that version is R06.04.00

... I think the latest RSS you could probably get is R06.08.00 ... think it comes with CPS R01.13 (?? I forget if this is the right version).

Ok here is how it goes so far. I have the latest RSS R06.08.00
When i try and program it, the software tell me to swutch to CPS R01.03 or later./....
This is getting weird....

HELP!!!

Try 06.07. IIRC the .08 for the MT, and MTX units.
