Programming MTS2000 800MHz Portable

[FFKingsford]

Hi there,

We have about 30 MTS 2000 Radios at our Fire Department and we are looking at buying about 20 more. We have a programming cable for them but no software... I can not seem to find what software to use or where to buy it. I would prefer Motorola Software and not some 3rd party crap.

Any Tips are welcome!!!

I guess you intend on buying those additional 20 MTS2000's on the used market as Motorola has not been producing those for several years now. They have announced end of official support for this model 7/1/2010 per the latest support cycle info.

As far as software, there's no third party software, only from Motorola and it's windows based. The latest is ver 2.03 if I remember correctly. If your department has an account with Motorola and has a software agreement signed, you can order it. Otherwise call 800-422-4210 and set up an account, sign the software agreement and go from there.

Good luck.

Yes we plan on buying them used but I didnt know they were stopping support on them next year. So this means that even dealers wont work on them or what?

What is the exact name of the software?

More than anything it means no parts will be available for them from Motorola

The part number is RVN4176U. The most recent version is R02.03.00 which came out in January. Also sent PM.

If these are going on a Trunked radio system you would need authorization from the sys admin and the system key. More than likely you will have to have the sys admin program the radios as it is highly unlikely that they would give you the system key.

Ok so pretty much what your saying is its time for new radios?

I mean we are a Fire Department they are going to get beat to hell and broke. We are putting in a grant for 50 Motorola XTS2500's hopefully we get it!
