Motorola XTL 2500 Software

[UncleOneSock]

Good morning all,

I am new to this forum and am in need of software for the XTL 2500. I got into a new position and the Laptop we have for all our Motorola radios seem to be missing the software needed to program legacy equipment. I believe it to be the ASTRO CPS software. I have read some of the threads on this forum about the subject before making an account which is where I learned it was set to EOL and is no longer available. Anyone capable of pointing me in the direction of a safe source for this software would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Asking for copyrighted software is against the forum rules. Google is your friend and you don't have to look far. You need the Astro 25 Mobile CPS.

True. But when I approved the post, I read it as "I need help finding the software" not "please send me the software".

You also will need an older computer to run the software. I use a Windows 7 laptop. Newer windows versions won't run it.

ASTRO25 CPS works fine on new versions of Windows.

My two Astro 25 CPS programs run fine on my Windows 7, 8.1, 10 & 11, and the computers with the respective Windows Operating System communicates perfectly with the XTL & XTS Series radios.

Windows 10 works just fine for me

Seems like we keep having the same discussions over and over again at least once a month. Maybe the search function is broken, hmm.

I suspect if you add w9cr to the search parameters will yield some results!

Best thing to do is to reach out to the manufacturer themselves on these forms. They actually even have a policy where you can't distribute the software here. Good luck.

In case you missed it, he tried that- these radios are long off support so that suggestion is useless. Other resources are out there and hopefully he/she will utilize them.

oh yeah, sorry about that. I was reading the tail end of it. I didn’t see the other part. Sorry about that again.

I will try this, thank you and everyone else for their helpful input.

Sure does. I've run it on both Win 10 and Win 11.
