the Motorola XTS 5000 is a Project 25 (P25) digital radio and requires specific programming software. You may need to contact Motorola directly for that. As for the other Motorola radios, what specific models are they?
All three of those radios use different programming software available through Motorola. Since those are higher-tier radios you will need a Motorola Business account through MOL -> http://businessonline.motorola.com/
Once you create a login you will need to submit a licensing agreement that says you will not reproduce or alter the software in any way. If it gets approved by Motorola than you will have access to te various software packages.
Off the top of my head here are general prices for software only
XTS5000, XTS2500, and newer astro25 portables -$300
XTS3000 and Astro Spectra -$300
MCS2000 - $not sure I will check.
Then you need a programmig cable…
Motorola is very picky about their software and VERY expensive. Have you looked into having them programmed by a dealer?
