XTS-3000 tech question

[FiremanSparky]

Hello everyone. Among many radio related projects I have going, I have two questions about the XTS-3000. First, the radio in question is a VHF Model III, Flashcode 5000010000008 with a Host R04.01.05 and DSP 6.03.02, programmed with CPS R05.03.00.
1. Am I correct in saying that CPS listed above is the most current for this radio?
AND
2. What is the latest firmware release for this radio?

Thanks,
Frank

Astro Saber/XTS3000 R05.03.00 should be the latest CPS for that radio.

The latest host/DSP should be R07.71.xx and DSP 08.03.06.

Thanks for the reply. When I try to program the radio with certain frequencies with the above mentioned CPS, I get a box on the screen that says:

THE TARGET RADIO DOES NOT SUPPORT FREQUENCIES WITH A 2.5 kHz SPACING. PLEASE
UPGRADE THIS RADIO'S FIRMWARE.

So once the firmware is upgraded, I'm still good to go on the same CPS, correct?

Thanks,
Frank

The cps is good to go...the firmware in that radio is literally from the stone age.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to obtain several of these that were apparently never used, but spares still in the box.

Thanks again,
Frank

I do not think you are going to need the 2.5khz spacing..yet.. 6.5 khz is the spacing currently in use with a deviation of 2.5 khz for narrowband.
