Please forgive my ignorance and the fact that this question may have already been answered, but I'm a Motorola rookie and don't want to brick my radio.
I have an XTS5000 with Host/DSP Version R16.00.02 and just purchased the CPS and Programming Cable. Before I hook up the radio and do anything I wanted to ask a few questions that are floating around in my head.
1. If I read the radio with a newer CPS version and save the Codeplug, will I be able to reload that Codeplug at a later date with no problems?
2. If I reprogram the radio with new zones and channels, will there be any foreseeable problem writing these to the radio?
3. Is there anyway to upgrade the Host/DSP on my side or would I have to send it to the depot? Do I even need to upgrade the Host/DSP?
4. Am I over-thinking the whole process?
Again, Host/DSP is R16.00.02
Flashcode is:

H38 - SMARTZONE Systems Operation
Q806 - ASTRO Digital Operation
Q173 - SMARTZONE OMNILINK Multizone Operation
Q361 - ASTRO 25 9600 Baud Trunking Systems Operation
H14 - Enhanced Digital ID Display
H869 - Multikey
Q446 - Channel Announcement
I bought the radio for Ham use and Public Safety monitoring.
Any thoughts, questions, or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help you can provide.
