I have some XTS2500's that came out of a storage room in my office building. They aren't compatible with the (relatively) new site, so I am planning on reprogramming them for talkaround as a contingency or to hand out to the users that don't really need to communicate with other groups (custodial staff, etc), but still need regular comms.
I have a significant stack of Motorola software disks from my organizations past radio administrators ranging from old floppy disk with RSS to CPS 6, but I don't know which would be compatible with this radio. I assume one of them had to have been, unless the vendor programmed and provided them.
When I force programming mode (PTT + Emergency Button) it reads: FlashZap Bootloader version R01.02.20. Intel W18-B 4MB
I've tried CPS6 but I get an error that says "Couldn't open port". I know the port is good because I can swap it with other models and they will read/write just fine.
So, I assume I'm just not using the right software. Is there a way that I can determine which CPS versions are compatible with the radio?
