Motorola XTL 2500 Programming issues

[cchristopher143vfd]

I am having issues reading a couple of radios I have. They are XTL2500 and when I did a search I was told I needed APX CPS R34.00.00 software which I downloaded from My View but every time I try to read the radio it tells me it cannot see or talk to the radio. I am using my USB cable that plugs into the front of the radio(Same cable I use on my XPR 4550 radios).
Is this a cable issue or a software issue?
Thank you for any assistance with this.

APX CPS will never work on an XTL, you need ASTRO25 Mobile CPS.

Are these XTL's or APX's? Two very different radios. The XTL's require Astro25 Mobile CPS, while the APX's require APX CPS, which looks like what you downloaded. Cable wise, you'd need the HKN6184C.

Thank you I will download it and give that a try

Thank for your help. I will download the software and give it a try.

I am having trouble getting the Astro25 to pull up on my customer hub. I found Mototrbo CPS 25. Any suggestions Sir.

Never mind I found it just waiting for it to be ready for download

It is no longer supported you will have to find it elsewhere

Years ago I found Astro25 mobile cps on a Russian site. It downloaded fine then about halfway through the install the hard drives ramped up faster than I have seen and I quickly yanked the internet connection and shut down. My desktop was possessed for about a month until I finally cleaned out all the evil things it ingested, it was even in the bios. Be careful where you look for this kind of stuff.

If you buy the HKN6184 Programming Cable from Bluemax 49ers, they will send you the link so you can download the Motorola Astro 25 Mobile R20.01.00 CPS.

Their cables are a very good quality and I have never heard a compliant by anyone regarding their products and quality level of customer service. I have numerous Bluemax cables for several Motorola vintage and current radios, Kenwood, and some I hate to admit, CCR POSs.
