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.

There is no key sequence to put the radio into programming mode.
MTS2000 CPS went to version R02.03.00 -- there was no version 4 or 6. RSS, the older DOS software, went to version R06.08.00.
It sounds to me like you're using the wrong CPS. Or... if you're using a USB/Serial adapter, the drivers may not be installed properly. If you are, in fact using RSS with a USB/Serial adapter -- that is not going to work.
I dunno - your post is hard to understand.

If you are using RSS R06.08.00, you'll need to boot into DOS mode.
You cannot use RSS with a Windows XP DOS window.

If it actually is CPS (Windows based) that R06.04, that sounds like Professional Series which won't work on an MTS2000.
Hi Guys, a quick update, you have pointed me in the right direction I came across the appropriate version, ver 2 or R 2 so am on the right track, simply need to find the version that communicates with my radios. Thanks again and have a great day there in the US.
