CPS Information
Where can I find the CPS or drivers for my radio?
RATS does not redistribute CPS applications or drivers, but if you have trouble finding the right packages for your equipment, contact us.
Radios built for the amateur market (Baofeng, Connect Systems, Radioddity, Tytera, etc)
If your radio did not include programming software, refer to your radio manufacturer's website or support contacts for current download links.
Tytera (TYT) users: Recently, the Tytera website has appeared to be offline or unresponsive for some users. We have found that using a VPN (any commercial VPN) has been an effective workaround to access the site. Good luck.
Cotre - software is no longer published by the manufacturer
Motorola
The Motorola CPS is available directly from Motorola Solutions at no charge to amateur radio operators. You will need to open a Motorola Solutions business account for individual, non-commercial use. There are very specific things that need to be entered on the registration form if you want your request to be approved. This video is the best reference we know of at the moment. There have been minor changes to the registration forms since that video was created, but if you follow the advice in that video, your request should be approved in about three business days.
The Motorola Solutions account will allow you to download both the current-generation CPS 2.0 and prior-generation CPS 16 products. You can also purchase accessories and discounted radio entitlements directly from Motorola.
Other commercial radios (Hytera, Kenwood, Maxon, Vertex, etc)
You will need to contact an authorized dealer for radio programming assistance or to purchase the necessary software.
CPS Programming Basics
On August 24, 2024, RATS Codeplug guru Steve Crow KG4PEQ presented a RATS Weekend Workshop on basic DMR Programming. We recommend taking a look at the meeting video and/or presentation with supplemental slides.
