If you do not have a copy of the Customer Programming Software (CPS), I highly recommend reading my post on How to Download FREE and LEGAL Motorola CPS directly from the Motorola Customer Hub. It’s always best to use legitimate version of software instead of attempting to use illegal copies from untrusted sources. I strongly advise against obtaining Motorola CPS from non-authorized providers, especially now that you can download the latest official version for yourself for free.
Your learning journey in this Motorola ASTRO 25 CPS video series begins with an introduction to the basics of using ribless programming cables, along with important ASTRO Spectra considerations. You’ll also dive into radio-wide fundamentals, learning how to structure channels and program them effectively.
