ASTRO Spectra CPS by Motorola, Inc. is a Windows-based programming application used to configure Motorola ASTRO Spectra mobile radios. It lets radio technicians and system administrators create, edit, and manage “codeplugs” (the radios’ configuration files) for fleets operating on analog conventional, legacy Motorola trunking, and Project 25 digital systems—subject to the features enabled by each radio’s flashcode.
Key capabilities:
- Read, edit, write, and clone radio codeplugs; archive and print configuration reports for recordkeeping.
- Set up zones, channels, and talkgroups; build scan lists; and define conventional and P25 parameters (e.g., PL/DPL tones, NACs).
- Configure signaling and features commonly used in public safety and commercial fleets, such as MDC1200 and Quick Call II, emergency/alarm behavior, and call alerts (when supported).
- Customize controls, display and menu items, button mappings, audio profiles, power levels, and ignition/accessory behavior.
- Validate feature compatibility against each radio’s firmware/flashcode to help avoid configuration conflicts.
Notes:
- Requires a compatible Motorola programming cable; many setups use a Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB) with the appropriate radio cable. USB-to-serial adapters must be reliable and properly configured.
- Alignment, test, and calibration functions are not part of CPS; those require separate Motorola tuning/service tools.
- This is legacy software for ASTRO Spectra-series mobile radios; ensure you use the CPS version appropriate for your radio model and codeplug version to prevent data mismatch issues.
- Motorola CPS is licensed software. Use only with proper authorization and in accordance with local laws and system permissions.
Typical users include radio shops, public safety and utilities communications teams, and certified Motorola service partners who maintain ASTRO Spectra mobile fleets.
