I have the rss software and programming cable for the mts 2000. Which operating system should I use to program these radios. I know Vista will not work?
Also can I clone these radios they are the same model and serial number but these are trunking frequencies not conventional.
MTS2000 software will operate on Win98 and possibly XP, depending on the revision number you have. Yes, you can clone if the model number is the same. It will clone the entire codeplug of the radio. (Note: you will not have 2 same serial numbers. These are unique to the individual radio.)

You'll need radio service software (RSS) and you'll need a radio interface box (RIB) and you'll need 2 programming cables and you'll need a computer. It might have to be a really old computer, such as an IBM AT/XT with -- the kind with a monochrome display and 5.25" floppy drives running MS-DOS -- or possibly a newer PC might work. Alternatively, you'll need about $20 and someone to do the job for you. Just look for an online auction that offers programming services. Most importantly, make sure your FCC license permits you to use the frequencies that you program into your radio.
The buttons are programmable through the Radio Service Software (RSS) and can be used for any number of features. Some examples are Monitor, Scan, Repeater Access Tone (RAT), Light, Select, and the list goes on. Only reading the radio with the RSS can you be 100% sure.
A wealth of knowledge can be found at http://www.batlabs.com/mtsx.html as well as searching the forum located there.
Your Motorola MTS2000 is not a scanner but a high-end two-way radio. It requires a computer, special interface box (called a RIB, for Radio Interface Box), the proper cable from the radio to the RIB, and the programming software called RSS (Radio Service Software.)
This is much more difficult than a scanner to program and if not done properly can cause the radio to automatically transmit on frequencies that you are not authorized to use.
Try calling your local Motorola dealer and ask them if they will program it for you for receiving only. They will either flatly refuse or they will be happy to charge you a service fee. Some places are more willing than others.
The 800MHz MT2000 software can only be purchased from Motorola and you can not purchase it unless you are the owner of the 800MHz Site or a Motorola Dealler that sales system radios. Your Local motorola dealer will program the radio for you but you must have written permission from whom ever is in charge of that system.
Most Motorola shops, including ours, will program the radios using Motorola proprietory RSS for a small fee. (Ours start at $25 with $5 for each additional unit cloned via the RSS.)
Cloning via the RSS is only possible if the units are all the same exact model number.
1. Program the ABC switch as zone select. 2. Program each 'personality' into the proper zone (eg A1, A2..., B1, B2..., C1, C2..., etc) 3. Load the codeplug into the radio.
To program this radios you need the RSS, RIB box, and the programming cable.
The Hex Editor is used to modify the RSS for some specific functions beyond the programming.
The RSS you need is the RVN4098 try to search in the web.
HI.... yes ....it is possible to program them in DMO, this is done in the RSS,.... so I am advised directly from inside Motorola .... but a copy of the RSS is just not available.... ... if fact Motorola seems to officially deny the D700 ever existed ... good luck in finding a solution.
