It contains some important bug fixes and keeps your radio up to date. The latest FW contains new features, extended programming options and occasionally, fixes to bugs.
If the radio is not covered by any support agreement, I would suggest first upgrading to R02.60.xx then to whatever you have/need.įirmware updates can be done via the programming cable or Wi-Fi (if the radio has this).then to the latest (currently M2020.01 though this will change in a few weeks). you bought a software maintenance agreement or a service package), first upgrade to R02. If the radio is covered by a support agreement (i.e.If you have a very old radio with very old firmware (a DP4601, for example that is on firmware R02.02.00), you should not upgrade to the latest firmware in one go: The update can be carried out in CPS2 as usual. firmware in your PC you might need to keep CPS 16.0 (828) as the older firmware installation packages look for the presence of this when run. When I say higher tier radios, I mean the: MOTOTRBO radios shipped in EMEA as of November 2019, will come standard with a 5-year software maintenance agreement as well as a number of premium features free of charge. The DP540* DP1400 SL1600 DM1400 and DM1600 are considered low tier radios and can be upgraded even if they are not covered by any support agreement or hardware warranty. The firmware packages themselves are provided free, however, in order to upgrade higher tier radios beyond R02., the radios either need to be in warranty or covered by a software maintenance agreement. You can find a complete and up to date listing of all relevant MOTOTRBO software versions here.
EMEA Reseller Partners will also have access to Motorola Online and are able to find all the software there. From my own experience, most folk will simply share this with their customers on a stick etc.
In EMEA, CPS2 can be supplied by Motorola Solutions or one of their Reseller Partners, on a DVD by ordering GMVN6241C. Apart from the enhancements and new features, these updates may contain one or more bug fixes.ĬPS2 is the recommended software needed to program individual radios however, for larger fleets, my preference is to use Radio Management (even if some/all of the radios don't support OTAP). Updating the firmware is (IMHO) an important aspect of maintaining MOTOTRBO two-way radios.
