Motorola cp200D to Motorola legacy cp200, cp200xls programming, and radio to radio cloning questions

[stewartp5]

Hello group,

I have a couple of of legacy cp200, and one legacy cp200xls two-way radios that I am trying to program. I have a couple cp200d two-way radios that are already programmed. The problem is that I am having a problem finding the programming software, I checked with several motorola dealers, and I noticed that the software for the legacy cp200, and cp200xls radios was listed as discontinued (I am assuming that this is due to the age of the radios, and the fact that the radios are also disconinued).

I have three questions concerning how to clone the cp200d with legacy cp200, and cp200xls two-way radios

1. will the cloning cable for the legacy cp200 work with the cp200xls, and the cp200d two-way radios?
2. do I have to find a cloning cable that is both micro usb,and micro tip ring sleeve combination cable? if so does this cable exist? if so does anyone know where I can purchase it from?
3. will any cable that is a compination micro usb combination micro tip ring sleeve connector work?

Thank you,

Peter Stewart

You will not be able to clone those radios. The CP200D is digital capable, uses completely different software, etc. The radios can certainly work together, if you use analog on the 200D, but cloning is out of the question.

As mentioned above, it's not possible.
CP200 and CP200XLS use the Commercial Series CPS while the CP200d uses MotoTRBO CPS.
Fortunately, those radios are max 16 channels so worst case scenario you have to copy 16 channels and put them into the other radios.

Um, the CP200 comes in 4 and 16 channel versions. The CP200XLS is 128 conventional channels.

I'm well aware, but I'm saying is he won't have to program more than 16 channels into each radio anyway. Since the CP200d has max of 16 channels and that's assuming all 16 are being used. And it's not like it's an extensive codeplug. TX freq, RX freq, maybe PL.

Hello group,

Thank you very much for the responses, and sorry that this reply is two-three weeks late. My legacy CP200 , CP200D and CP200XLS are 16 channel models. The frequencies in my CP200D radios (which are the ones that I want to clone to the legacy CP200. and CP200XLS radios) are the same frequencies, and the same PL codes, (and the radio that I want to clone to the cp200XLS from a uhf CP200d) is CSQ.

Thank you for the help,

Peter Stewart
