I'm looking to buy an XPR5550e UHF1 40W for GMRS and future 70cm HAM use. Based on what I've read, anyone can now sign up for a Moto account and get access to CPS and apply for the Wideband entitlement to activate widemand on the channels. I'm getting a bit lost as far as coedplug versions and sellers specifying what the last version of CPS that was it was programmed with, firmware versions, etc. Can someone either point me to a thread or give me a basic explanation on these questions to help me make sure I get the right radio?
1. Is it true, can anyone now get CPS for free from Moto now and if so where do I go to sign up?
2. Any idea once I have a moto account, where I apply for a wideband entitlement?
3. Once I get the entitlement, can I set any programmed channel on any radio to WB?
4. Is there and reason to worry about what codeplug version is on the radio now or what version of CPS was used ot program it? If it does matter can you explain why?
Thank you very much for the help!! Jason
