Buying CPS from Motorola Online

[Jay911]

Within about 10 seconds of powering on the radio, hit your zone down button 5 times. That button on almost any modern Motorola handheld enters a diagnostic mode which displays the above information.

Reading all this cements my opinion that Motorola themselves create the problem of people going around the system and trading software. I remember from the 80s when one of the largest users of Saber and Spectra radios in the US would send broken radios in for repair that their radio shop could not fix, and they would come back from Motorola with newer software causing the customer to buy newer versions over and over throughout the lifespan of the radio. It was ridiculous.

You would think with the downhill spiral Motorola has taken over the years they would change their tactics. They do make good products, but competition is NOT what is was in the 80's. The loss of Motorola sales in my area because of the company itself (not the products) and the costs associated is high . Even depot repair is getting ridiculous, for minor service even.

Turn radio off and then back on. Press side button right above PTT 5 times , should go into service mode. Display will cycle through various parameters. To reset, turn off and back on.

But we should all do the right thing and buy the $250 software directly from Motorola rather then the $20 copy on Ebay.

Ok. I tried that. What I have in front of me right now at home is an XTS 5000. Our Purple button is our keypad lock. the other two side buttons are zone up and down and then of course the PTT.

Press the button with two dots on it five times upon Power up and the radio will go into Service Mode. Threre it will go through and display Model #, Serial #, Flashcode etc.

The small public safety depts around me buy the software from Motorola, not Ebay. The hobbyists that dub around with Motorola equipment buy their software off Ebay.

Better up your $250 dollar amount for a 3 year subscription by the way.

Unless you need the disks mailed to you, the d/l only subscription is only $169.

When Moto software goes the way of Harris and Kenwood and is registered to your device, and only one device, you will.

Lets see. Moto only gave out DMR wide band EID's to people with paid subscriptions. Took a few weeks until someone smarter than me figured out how to work around that.

Yup, and that's all gone now.

I doubt RR or the Batboard will allow open posting of EID workarounds, and there certainly isn't anyone skilled enough at Austech to do it on their own.

And those of us who know how, will not share.

What's the part number for the downloadable version of TRBO CPS? I go into the pages for XPR5550 and 7550 and into software and nothing is there.

When I search for the DVD version (RVN5115), I can see it. But I can't find the downloadable version to add to my cart.
