Motorola XTS 1500 programming help

[codymw623]

I have a few questions about the programming CPS for Motorola XTS 1500. Our department recently purchased the XTS 1500's. I have the correct programming cable which is a 9 pin serial port. When i launch the cps and click read radio i get an error that says NEXTgen 10, open radio failed with a bunch of numbers. I went under user settings and made sure it was set to COM port 1 and also went under the Com port settings and changed it to COM port 1. I am also including some pictures of the errors i am getting. Is there a reason for this?

Thank you.

The same cable won't work for the Jedi Series and the XTS1500 series.

I see other cables that have 6 pins that plug into the radio compared to the 4 pins that are built on this cable. Do you think i need the 6 pin cable?

You need a cable that will program an XTS1500. Google it and you'll come up with a lot of dealers that sell such a cable.

Do NOT use homemade or ebay cables for XTS/L or ANY radio. Unless you are building a house (because you will have a lot of bricks). First, talk to the people who sold your department the radios. They (hopefully) know how to program this series radio. If YOU are the person authorized to do the programming, take the week long class in Schaumberg so you dont destroy the fleet of radios. OR, have the shop you bought the radios from get the cable for you.
