As stated above, the CPS for the XTS3000 radios is for only the Astro Saber series radio. The CPS for the XTS1500, XTS2500, and XTS5000 is for the Astro Digital P25 Series radios. The Astro Digital Series programming cables are RIB-less cables and be either a DB9 or USB computer to radio cable. The XTS3000 radio programming cables can be either a RIB-less DB9 or USB computer programming cable to the radio with the appropriate radio accessory connector or Computer DB9 or USB Serial Adapter Computer Cable, and with the Prolific Driver, to the RIB, and the RIB to Radio Cable with the Appropriate Accessory Connector.
I don't believe the Astro Saber Radio was capable of being programmed RIB-less.
