Does this repeater require a separate CPS to program it, or does the same CPS that programs radios work? If so, what version of CPS work? Thanks

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
MTR3000 CPS Version

Regular MOTOTRBO CPS, equal to or greater than whichever version it was last programmed with along with a standard USB A to B cable is all that's needed.

Perfect. So I’m assuming that based upon this, the most recent Motorola CPS will work?
I suppose you might have some issues if trying to program a used unit that hasn't been touched in a really long time, but yes, they use TRBO CPS, including the most recent. If that won't work, I believe you'd need to increment the firmware and get it up to being useable with original TRBO CPS (16.0 build 828 was the last version) but that's worst-case scenario.
When you say Motorola CPS. I have the CPS software for the XPR 3500 and 7550. Will this same CPS software work for the MTR 3000 repeater?
And is there any specific programming cable ?

I figured it out.
