Trbo CPS16 25khz Issues

[Rlahey]

I’ve done a hefty web search but cannot find a definitive answer

I’ve run CPS16 for many years but two years ago I upgraded laptops. I bought a 25khz key from Motorola but it would not take it (I thought it was a key issue so I bought five…) If I recall they took that server offline that worked with 16, as they want everyone over on 2.0. So then I went the hex edit route. I continue to get error 1646 when opening the program. The layout of CPS 2.0 is worthless. I don’t wont to scroll over five pages to see what is programmed in one channel. Are there any other tricks for 16?

If I program with 2.0, that radio can only use 2.0 for the rest of eternity, is that correct?

Stay with 16. Here’s the wide band hack.
Motorola CPS XPR series wide band mod 16 build 828 AA changing bit 0x200E from 06 to 17 in sfccomb.dll allows you to do enable 25 kHz

I’ve done exactly that. I still get the 1646 error, even when I run as an administrator

Quick google search.

This is often caused by a lack of permissions to create the below folders. The fix in this case, is to install and run the CPS as an Administrator.

There could also be an issue with Windows (specifically the WMI Service). Make sure Windows is updated (all patches are applied and no restart is needed). Makre sure you have your codeplugs (if any) saved somewhere else, uninstall the CPS then reboot. Once rebooted go through and delete the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Motorola\MOTOTRBO CPS
C:\ProgramData\Motorola\MOTOTRBO CPS
C:\Users\cwh050\AppData\Roaming\Motorola\mototrbocps.tbl

Use a registry cleaner to delete any unused entries then reinstall the (latest) CPS. If this doesnt do the trick, see my support page to get help.

I also found the google search long ago and tried the above that you posted, prior to my post. When you hex edit, reinstalling doesn’t help much. But I reinstalled and re hex edited, and again ran in admin mode. Windows is also up to date. Still no dice.
When the hex edit is undone, the program operates as it should. I have verified through multiple sources that the edit was correct.
Thanks

Well if the software working fine when you undo the hex edit... sounds like you are bugging up the hex edit. I followed same directions and it works as it should.

Totally agree- but I’ve followed the directions for the hex edit to the letter. While I am glad it worked for you, I absolutely cannot replicate that success. 2000- 200e (or row 15) change 06 to 17. At this point I guess I’ll just upgrade to 2.0

Okay, we can put this one to bed.
I went to line 00002010, then over 14 spots to 0x200D, rather than E. That worked. This is contrary to any of the other ways I have seen before.
Thanks everyone.
