Reading the brochure that is on the page you have linked to, the 6500 is single band and the 7500 is dual band.

You will need to hex edit the CPS to allow you to program the radio that far down. Not sure if it will TX or not, you will just need to try it. I know with the UHF R1 XTL's will program to 478 instead of the 470. SOme radio's will TX and others will not, they just come up with a fail message. I wish ...

I think your correct, its only editing what is displayed in the cps not the actual code plug. is it possible to edit the code plug in the radio without reading it with the CPS?

Any info greatly appreciated

Many thanks

Hi Jim

I already have the latest firmware and the full channel amount for the radios is 1000. Except for the other one of mine which has been modified at some stage to allow 2000.

Thanks for your info.

Hi
I am trying to achieve the same thing, I have managed to see the password viewing the RAM and searching for it, Is it possible to modify the CPS to do this without searching the RAM.
I am using both Portable and Mobile ASTRO25 CPS R15.00.00

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi All
An XTL5000 that I purchased a while ago, has a 2000 channel capacity, when you read the radio config ->radio Wide-> General Tab it states that there is 2000 maximum channels. I have tried programming the full 2000 channels and it all works fine. Write/Read and testing TX on the XTL.

Im ...

Hi
You will need to hex edit your CPS .exe file, using the method for ASTRO software, I know this works for the MCS2000 CPS. This will allow you to program the radio that low, If it transmits at that freq is a whole different story, all i can suggest is to try it and see.

Hi,
Im trying to update firmware, wihtout an iButton

Hi All

Does anybody know how to get an XTL5000 into bootmode or flashzap mode?

Any information would be great

Many thanks

Hi All
Just wondering if it is possible to roll back the version of cps that is stored in a codeplug file.

For example if I had a codeplug that was last programmed with CPS r14.00.01 is there a way to modify that code plug to open in CPS r7.00.00? Or can i modify the CPS to open a newer codeplug ...

HI All

I have an XTVA installed in my car and i was looking for an amplifier to suit. I found these Radius Amplifiers modules on EBAY. Would I be able to use these to amplify the output of the XTS in the XTVA, I have included the information bellow.

I'm relitivley new to repeaters.

Thanks for the information so far

Hi All
Just wondering if any body knows if it is possible to add a VRS to a mobile XTL5000 and turn the XTL5000 into a repeater system for infrequent mobile use?
As far as i have read it the information says the VRS must be a different band, but never having played with a VRS system I'm not sure if ...

Many thanks Jim
I gave it a go and it works fine.

Thanks again
Greg

Hi All

I have a question about code plugs and CPS version so here goes?

I have an XTS5000 code plug from a mates radio that was created/edited with CPS ver r12 or similar, Im trying to drag and drop some of his zones and personalities into my XTS2500, I understand not everthing will directly come ...

Hi All

Does anybody know if it is possible to hex edit the CPS versions R12 - R14 to bypass the code plug password.

I read about how to do it on the earlier CPS versions, is it the same method?

Any info apprieciated.

Kind Regards
Greg

Hi

I was reading somewhere about the ability to control two XTL's from one W3 HHCH, does anybody know if this function is available with an 05 or 03 control head on the AStro 25 XTL radio's.

I know they can have more than one head per radio but can you have more than one radio on a single contro ...

Hi All

FYI i managed to fix the error codes on my MCS2000. I accidentley changed some of the siren settings in the cps. Having no siren hardware fitted to the radio it must bring up those fault codes.

Hi All

I have recentley programmed my MCS2000 radio to recieve a trunking network in NSW. I have had no problems with the radio before. Now that i have changed the programming to include the trunking system, I get the following error codes when i power up the radio.

Error 00/10
Error 08/10

Hi All, does anybody know if it is possible to make an MCS200 VHF radio tune with the use of a VFO, like an icom radio or similar. I understand that i can just create channels in the code plug and save the freq as the channel name. But is there a way where i wont be limiting my channel(node ...

Hi thanks to all for their help, i will have to stick with the MCS2000 that i have, i wanted a motorola with a HHCH. thanks

thanks, i was wanting one radio that can handle 430-430Mhz for amature radio as well as being able to use it on 477Mhz occasionally. As far as i can find i will need to perform an out of band hack to get it to transmit on 477Mhz, i figure yes it will be out of band but if i get a high power unit ...

Hi am looking at purchasing an Moto Astro Spectra radio, but for the freq i require i'm unable to find one with the HHCH which i want. Does anbody know what is involved in modifying the radios to suit a HHCH. Surely it is more than just pluging in the control mic. Thanks for you help?

I have a UHF MCS2000 with a type II control head, Does anybody know if it is possible to adapt a hand held control head to this type of radio??
