Help with CPS 2.0

[mbook87]

So I have a motorola solution account. I have downloaded and installed the most recent CPS 2.0. I'm only guessing its the most recent because the copyright information in the program states 2008-2025.

I'm a HAM operator and have indeed purchased the 25khz EID. However, when I put in my EID it fails to connect to the website. I know the website is connect.motorolasolutions.com

I don't know is the server down? Is there something I might be missing here.

Thanks in advance

Have you authenticated your computer?

Have you authenticated your computer?

I've been trying.

The information I have says to go to connect.morotolasolutions.com and authenticate there.

I do that and the website never loads and gives an err_connection_reset on my web browser.

What you know it seems to be a google chrome issue. I switched to edge and its working. Got authenticated and was able to input my EID.

I was told it Motorola does not play well with Firefox either. Curiously, that was by Motorola who told me told me to switch to Chrome. Interesting.

worked with Chrome today at home and works with Edge at work,

I think "finicky" is the word we're looking for here, lol. I have the wide band auth, just need to finish getting the actual 2.0 so I can try programming this radio on Monday.

Was a weird one because their website even states use google chrome but it didn't work. Oh well I got in and got my EID put in. So now I'm all set.

 

[Kb3uaf]

Yeah, that’s weird to me as well. I called them because the website wasnt working for me, and the guy from Motorola told me that Firefox didnt play well with their site, snd had me add Chrome which worked well. Oh well, got MY EID as well, si I'm happy.

yep and now I'm just saving up to pickup a couple motorola HTs. Have plenty mobile units and two of them are used as base stations. Have a few more mobiles getting used as "Mobile Go Kits'. Just want to add a couple HTs to the mix.

 

[Kb3uaf]

Yup, I'm looking at getting a couple more HT"s myself.

 

[mbook87]

I've been using Baofeng for so long and as much as I enjoy my cheap radios since playing with some Motorola radios the quality is why I'm going to get some HTs.

I want to get a couple XPR 7550. One VHF and one UHF. Sure I have a dual band baofeng with DMR but Motorola appeals to me.
