Business Radio CPS is a software program developed by Motorola. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. Business Radio CPS is a free application that enables you to program your Motorola RDX Series Radio device.

The correct CPS is RVN5194 Entry Level CPS, latest version R02.02 according to MOL. The CP185 was introduced in late 2008, so considering older series CPS was updated for Windows 7 compatibility, I would assume the Entry Level CPS was as well. Walkie Talkie Radio Earpiece & Headset Connectors Explained. All walkie-talkie radios do not use the same type of connector plug/socket for attaching earpiece/microphones, speakers or headsets.

Hardware Recommendations
· The application takes approximately 16 MB of free disk space on your PC. However, you may want more space to allow you to save archive files of your radios. Each archive file varies in size depending on the features of the radio that are enabled. A good rule of thumb is 75 KB per archive file.
· For processor speed and RAM, nothing is required beyond the recommendations given by Microsoft for the release of the operating system that you are using.
· The graphical user interface is best displayed using 1024*768 and 65536 color display or better (use small font).
· A CD-ROM drive.
· A serial port or USB to serial port adapter. The BAFO(R) BF-810 USB to serial port adapter has been tested successfully with the CPS application.
