That's because MTSX Lab will not work on a XTS 5000.
You can certainly clone programming information from one to the other using CPS (either the direct clone feature or the drag and drop feature), but you can't copy a flashcode, etc.

Bongo - considering you've already likely turned an MCS2K into a brick, I'd suggest you slow down, take a deep breath, and do some in-depth reading before you start screwing around with lab software, lest you either kill another radio or make it not function properly (like nuking alignment values).

Bongo, I think Peter's statement summed it up for you... MTSX Lab won't work on the Astro25 product line. If you don't have the correct CPS package to accomplish what you need to do, I suggest you contact Motorola and purchase it.

But even using the correct SW won't bring an inhibited 5K back to life.
