.ctb to .ctb2 not working

[KK4YPR]

i have a .ctb file created and saved with CPS16 and based on all the information i read I should be able to open it in CPS2.0.
Each time I try i get the message "Application has encountered an error" That's it. no error number and I can't figure out what is going on.
I can open the .ctb file in CPS16 just fine. I don't want to reinvent the CodePlug from CPS16 to CPS2.0 (it is a very large code plug of all the NC PRN and BM details)
Any one have an idea? Motorola also does not allow any copy/paste so they really want to make sure you are unhappy when changes happen.

You didn't mention the radio type. The first generation radios cannot be programmed with the 2.0.

One thing you might be able to do it open the code plug in CPS16. Then, read a radio with newer firmware, even a different radio, in the same session. You can easily cut and paste between the two. Save the code plug with the newer firmware (or newer type radio). Once you save that code plug, you might be able to open it with the 2.0 software.

I was finally able to get the CTB file to open in CPS2.0.
Now the copy and paste keeps killing my computer. I thought it was working when I grabbed about 50 zones of data and pasted it but it worked on it for 3 hours (while saying it was not responding) and i finally gave up and killed the process.
Now I am doing one zone at a time and each one takes about 2 mins to paste in the codeplug.
Thanks

Are you copying within CPS 2.0? Just right click on the tree top of your source, right click >copy, move the cursor to the tree top of your target and right click>paste. It'll do the whole code plug or it sounds like you need a faster computer.

What radio model? What firmware version is the radio at?

Yes you can. It needs to be at the final/last firmware release for the Gen 1 subscribers.

Dump the codeplug into your radio with CPS 16, then read it with CPS2.0

No need to copy and paste.

Just don’t write it back to the radio, unless you want to be stuck using CPS2.0.

OK, thanks for that info. I'd NEVER intentionally use 2.0 if I don't have to. Perhaps I was thinking of RAS or one of the privacy settings.

Then why mess with CPS2.0? Do you have a radio that has newer firmware that you are copying the old codeplug to?

 

[kayn1n32008]

If RAS or encryption is used in the old codeplug, write the keys down and hand bomb them into the other codeplug.

TRBO CPS SUCKS and is quite slow. Especially when trying to copy and paste regardless of processor speed and amount of ram.

Just make sure you have created your scan lists EXACTLY the same, in the same order as the donor codeplug. Otherwise you will not only have to add all the members(which you do, can’t copy and paste scan lists) you will also have to select you scan list for each channels as well.
