• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I need to know if the CPS based software for the mcs2000 and mts2000 if easer to work with than the :?: MS-DOS software in which I have for all the motorola radios. And if so is the CPS software a windows operatable program, and where would I find it to learn the software for the mcs & mts or is it obtainable through motorola.
Thanks[/b]

I have used both RSS and CPS, and personally I like the CPS due to the ability to open multiple windows with a single codeplug and the ability to drag and drop between like model codeplugs.

This is a personal preference of course depending on what your used to, but to answer you other question, yes, CPS is a Window's based program.

I have heard that getting the CPS software and learning tools from Motorola is difficult if your an individual user. You can try calling them and ask to find out what you need to do.

If any one can let me try a copy of the CPS software for the mcs or mts. It maybe a little cheeper. I am not trying to obtain a illegal copy, I do have a license for my RSS software. Before I buy more software form motorola, I need to make sure its going to work for me on my PC and that It is going to be benificial for me to purchase for most of the motorola radios that we program, and I would like to learn the software and try some of the thing that I have been reading about ie drop and drag. Before I spend a lot of money on CPS software for other model radios. I am willing to purchase if reasonable price mcs,mts Cps software if someone has it, and if I can try it to see if it works for me better that my RSS software.
thanks
