MTS/MCS MTS & XTS Programming Cable

[ferryfan_ray]

Im trying to program my MTS2000 on a Windows XP Toughbook, I’ve also tried WIN7 and the DOS RSS, nothing will read it, Ive been using the same cable for about 2 years, it still works on my XTS5000 & 2500; Just not my MTS. That being said, does it take a different cable? I’ve never had this issue. Thanks

Are you using a RIB? You need a RIB with the proper cable for the MTS.

MTS / MCS does not program via the USB Astro25 cable that the 2500/5000 uses.

The MTS2000, & XTS3000 take the same cable. But the XTS2500, & XTS5000 take their own different cable. So you never programmed your MTS2000 radio with your XTS2500/5000 cable. And they do offer a ribless cable that uses a serial port for the 2000, so you don’t need a RIB.

Are you using MTS CPS?

I am using the CPS, with the serial port cable
