Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 5550 DMR Mobile Radio Review

SUMMARY
The Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 5550 is one of the latest additions to Motorola’s MOTOTRBO line of Digital Mobile Radio (aka DMR) TDMA radios, featuring best in class audio, integrated GPS, a multicolour LCD display, plus much more. This is an excellent single band radio for ham radio use on either the 2m or 70cm bands, as it is feature rich, durable and likely to more than satisfy even the most demanding user.

XPR 5550 Motorola CPS cable drivers

The driver is included with the CPS when you install it. The link is supposed to point to the local disk-drive but that sometimes doesn't work. The link isn't supposed to be a download link though, if that's what you we're expecting?

MOTOTRBO "NEWBIE" QUESTIONS ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND CPS

Where can I get (the latest) CPS?

From where you bought your radio. Or if you prefer here.


The version of CPS I have gives error code #1057 when I read my new radio?

The firmware version in the radio is newer than that which the CPS can support. You need to update your version of CPS.


When I plug the programming cable into the PC, Windows does not make the "USB Start" sound?

This is correct, there is no "intelligence" or level conversion in the programming cable. This will only happen when you connect a radio.
