I dont know why but I am struggling with Motorola CPS 2.0 in trying to program a DMR Motorola Capacity Plus Single Site (TRBO). I can only find video that are on the old software and its not helping me. If there is anyone that can help me with a step by step that would be helpful or send a video that would be great. Also im will to do a teams session as well. FYI i learn better by doing it as i am a very hands-on learner.

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.

How to only listen to a Motorola Capacity Plus system with an XPR6550?
So I recently ordered an XPR6550 to add to my Moto collection. And I found out we have a new Capacity Plus system in town, and I was wondering how I can use the XPR to listen to this system. I don't have experience with Capacity Plus and don't know what I'm doing. Since I want to follow the law...
I would also need to TX. Can i send a screenshot if you able to break it down and take that info to put it as an example?I have a step-by-step guide in this threadHow to only listen to a Motorola Capacity Plus system with an XPR6550?

Take it to the system owner/operator and have them program it.
I'll know how that will go. Either not seeing my radio again or losing all my frequencies.
Then maybe you dont have permission to be on the system and shouldn't be programming it in the first place?
Either way, you've been given instructions on how to passively monitor the system and no one here will teach you how to TX on a system you don't have authorization for.

No, that never happens. No one would dare come to a hobbyist website asking for information on how to access a trunking system with no authorization. Naw, never.
If the system owner/operator is that disreputable, maybe you should find a new system….. or one you’re authorized to be on.

And there's probably a reason for that.
The FCC rules are exceedingly clear on this.
No one can add a radio to a Part 90 radio system without permission of the licensee. Does not matter if you have an amateur radio license, work for the company, contract for the company, know someone who works there, or "just in case". Rules are clear. You are not the licensee of this system. Unless you have direct, written permission from them, you should not be adding their system to your radio.
§ 90.427 Precautions against unauthorized operation.
(a) Each transmitter shall be so installed and protected that it is not accessible to or capable of operation by persons other than those duly authorized by and under the control of the licensee. Provisions of this part authorizing certain unlicensed persons to operate stations, or authorizing unattended operation of stations in certain circumstances, shall not be construed to change or diminish in any respect the responsibility of station licensees to maintain control over the stations licensed to them (including all transmitter units thereof), or for the proper functioning and operation of those stations and transmitter units in accordance with the terms of the licenses of those stations.
(b) Except for frequencies used in accordance with § 90.417, no person shall program into a transmitter frequencies for which the licensee using the transmitter is not authorized.
Paragraph B makes it clear, you, as a ham, are not the licensee of this system, and you should not be programming radios to transmit on a system that is not yours. This is why many of us run trunked systems, to keep people out that do not belong on the system. It's also one of several reasons we run encryption.
Avoid giving the hobby a black eye. Resist the urge. If you have a legitimate need to be on this radio system, you need to do it properly.
