Sheesh

Haven't even installed my CPS 3.0 CD that's been sitting here for ages yet :)

Anyone got a copy of the release notes yet?

I just like the 9.5 DOS version. It can be used on slower computers..CPS just croaks on anything slower that a PII if you have a large codeplug.

About the only useful new feature in 4.0 is that you can now flush the stupid image icons off your desktop. These pop up as a result of each program open and change session. Wow!

But it does appear to have a tuner. W :o W.
Will have to read the blurb and see it if it is at all worthwhile to upgrade.

Enhancements in this Release:
-----------------------------

- Frequency Picklists feature allows you to view or define frequencies that
can be easily selected from many Conventional and Trunking receive and
transmit frequency fields throughout the CPS application. This feature reduces
frequency entry time and frequency entry errors by changing CPS frequency
field entry from a manual edit to a picklist style entry. This feature gets
enabled in View->Options->Frequency Options page. This list must be populated
before accessing it through the applicable dialogs.

- The Clone Wizard feature groups all fields needed to be updated when cloning
to one or many radios, or to one or many archive codeplug files.

- Macro Record and Playback feature can be used to record a series of
interactions within the CPS and play them back on a different codeplug.
Note that erroneous behavior can result from recording and playing back
a macro on separate machines that have significantly different performance
specifications.

- Drag and Drop Personality to Zone feature allows you to drag a Conventional
Personality or a Trunking Personality and drop it on top of any Zone
Channel Assignment zone for easily addition of channels to existing zones.
