XTL2500 Programming

Post by KC2NNS »

Hi all,

Just received two new XTL2500 radios for my town's FieldComm unit. I'm attempting to program them and receiving the message that my software is too old. I have R14.00.00 - I thought that was the latest version?! Thoughts?

What radios do you own?: APX

Your topic title says XTS2500, but then you say that you just got 2 XTL2500's... Which one is it? Are you using portable CPS if its a portable, and mobile CPS if its a mobile? And what is the exact CPS error message you are getting?

Stupidity creates job security!

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

My bad. They are XTL2500 radios. The XTS2500 in the subject line was a typo.

Ugh... didn't know they came out with R14.00.01. What a pain...

Thanks for the quick replies! Much appreciated.

Besides the R14.00.01, there was a R14.00.03, and I Just downloaded R14.01.00 today for both the XTS portable as well as XTL mobiles. I received
a pair of XTS portables last Friday that told me won't program on R14.00.00. So a trip to MOL to download the latest.
