What is the latest version of CPS for the XTS3000? I have version 05.02.00, but apparently there is newer, according to the error message I get.
Thanks; that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.Astro 5.03.00 is the latest for the XTS3000
Okay, so I am trying the latest version 05.03.00. When I try to read the radio, it behaves as if it is reading it, and I get an error message about the codeplug not being compatible with this version of CPS, and that I need to upgrade to the latest CPS. It is the same error I got when I tried using version 05.02.00.
What might be causing this, as I already have supposedly the latest version?
Just my two cents maybe try making a new codeplug and see if it works if that works then you know that the codeplug you're trying to use is messed up.
Keep in mind that this software won't run on Windows 8, or newer. Also, it's 50/50 on Windows 7. I've been able to run it on Windows 7 using Windows XP Mode. Best result was purchasing an older machine at a thrift store (Windows XP) with a true serial port, and running it on that. I think I spent around $30 for the computer. Just my two cents.
What's the Model # on the XTS? It could be an XTS3000R which has it's own software I believe.
Model number is H09UCH9PW7BN
XTS3000 Type III 800 MHz, so should work. What's your serial settings? (Baud, etc.)
9600 BPS; 8 Data bits; 1 stop bit; Flow Control none.
This same arrangement works fine with a UHF XTS3000.
The problem must be in the codeplug, too bad I can't just erase it.
All my other PC's have Windows 10, I have only one running Windows XP. (Panasonic Tough Book CF-29)
Hmmm....well if you're just trying to erase the radio so you can get it into a programmable state to start over with, then I would just look around for 800 MHz XTS3000 codeplugs until you find one that is a flashcode match that you can load into your CPS version, then clone it in.
That will at least wipe the radio back to a technically usable state in terms of read/write and give you something you can tweak.
