Hi
I have a few of each mentioned radios. Now I want to programm them.
Can I use the software CPS R06.12.05 for that or are there other tools to do the job?
Also I am still unsure which kind of hardware is necessary. I have a USB<>Serial adapter here using a FT232. Can I make an interface for the raidos out of that?
Thx 4 ur help

You did not mention where you are located. That makes a HUGE difference when it comes to your questions. We get a lot of users who ask questions that we try to answer only to discover that they are in a different part of the world and the answers are totally different. Most of the regular and frequent users here on RR are US or Canada based. Our answers are geared to US and Canada which for the most part, share common radio issues.
The PRO5100 and PRO7100 radios are non-North American radios. They could be European or one of the other regions of the world. The only way to know for sure is to look at the model number. The region is encoded into it.
The CPS you mentioned is probably for North American radios only. The number you gave is the revision level which is a fairly recent version of the North American HVN9025 CPS.. You need to know the part number to determine if it's the right CPS for your radios. A google search will yield charts that give all that info.
Your adapter is probably not going to be useful.
What version of Windows are you running? It may be better for you to purchase the RIB and RIB to radio cable. Others have good luck with the aftermarket USB to radio cables that are SPECIFIC for the Professional Series when running XP or Win7.
