I have done drag and drop from XTS3000/AS to MTS2000 CPS in the same bandsplit with no problems. Some features that are not present in analog radios obviously are not copied over but it worked fine. Never tried it with Astro 25 CPS though.

I just tried MTS/MCS to Astro Saber/Astro Spectra/XTS3000 and XTS5000/XTL*. There's not an exact 1:1 correspondence, so you'll have to clean some things up, but as far as the bulk of your personalities, yes, it should carry it over with no problem.

What version of MTS CPS are you using? I believe you need 2.00.00 or greater for the drag & drop to Astro/25 CPS to work. Otherwise, you need to make sure both CPS are pointed to the appropriate system key(s) and you should be good to go.

Time to upgrade, works no problem between MTS CPS R02.02 and AS/XTS3K CPS R05.03 (both current versions AFAIK)
