XTS3000 Motorola XTS 3000 software on windows 10 / 11?

[exkalibur]

Also, is the W9CR website a safe place to download the software?

Thanks

"safe" and "legal" are not the same thing, but you shouldn't have any issues, operationally speaking.

Same here with the XTS 2500. it'll launch but won't run on 64 bit.

Should without an issue. 64 bit is supported on R20.00.01. Even Windows 8 is supported (Windows 10 and 11 doesn't have an issue either).

My Astro 25 CPS' will even run on Windows 7.

I believe the CPS version is R20.01.00, but I could be wrong a second time, again, in my life.

Release notes actually state XP, 7, 8 and Mobile.

JFC. The software is abandoned. It hasn't been updated in years. Get it from W9CR and be done with is. There's no big scary Motorola lawyer coming after you for using a bootleg copy of ASTRO25 Portable software.

Yeah my copy will open on start up, but gives me a message when I try to read the radio.

What’s the message? Usually two messages come up when reading. One is an error no connection message or the other is this radio is inhibited.

For sure - Motorola has had ample opportunity to crack down and they're either unable or unwilling.

I use a Windows XP, 32-Bit, for my ancient Motorola CPS for the MTS2000, MCS2000, Professional Series such as the HT & CDM Waris radio, and the Astro 25 for Astro Saber & XTS3000 with USB ports. You have to use an USB to Serial Adapter cable with the Prolific driver, and a RIB.

I believe the 64-Bit operating system will launch the CPS but will not communicate with the radio.

At one point in beginning for the astro 25 the iogear guc232a USB to serial was what Motorola recommended before things modernized

last time of significance was many years ago, before that it was even more significant in IP protection, thats where the stories/warnings continue to this day over a decade ago but it seems ever since they've made it free they don't seem to care as much if any. anyone back then would remember the name Pat Harrington. Theres sellers on ebay making thousands they download cps for free from motorolas site, burn a disk to hawk on ebay.
We've already had at least one thread on here with the email from motorolas support team saying to google old software, there is an internet archive version in addition to the other gentlemans wiki site with older software and mods

I still use my iogear 232 usb to serial for any older serial cable stuff
