In MY humble opinion, this is painful, when you consider the amount of data this radio can handle in a codeplug (THOUSANDS of channels). this was fine for 16 or 32 channel radios, but in the XTS and APX realm, each radio has the capability of hundreds of zone and channel combinations.Īs far as Anytone and CS go – they seem to have adopted the “old” paradigm of a window capturing all of the data for a channel in one spot, and then hitting a “next” button to go to the next channel. Some older CPS had a more “individual channel” based programming scheme, where each mode was entered in a user form with fields for RX freq, TX freq, RX PL, TX PL, TOT, etc. The nice thing about this zone creation is the fact that each zone is entered in a table – so the entire zone can be viewed easily. Programming a zone with a dozen different talkgroups on a single system is often as easy as just selecting the personality and then a talkgroup associated with that personality, and making sure the RF parameters are entered for each of the modes. Items such as signaling and encryption are also included in the personality. In the Motorola (P25) world, a “mode” (usually called a “Channel” by the lay-person) is really a name assigned to a link between RF channel or system, Personality (how the radio acts) and some network parameters (Talkgroup, usually).

I’m used to Astro and APX series software, which, at it’s core, is really a database.


So, the CPS (programming software) for both the Anytone 878 and Connect Systems radios is atrocious… well.
