 Introduction
• APX CPS
• Enhancement and Benefits
APX CPS

• APX Customer Programming Software (CPS) is a tool used

to program APX radios.
• CPS allows each radio to be uniquely programmed
according to an organization’s operational requirements.
• A ‘codeplug’ is a solid state information stored within the
radio, which can be read using CPS and manipulated
accordingly.
• By default, each APX CPS installation is preloaded with
sample codeplugs for the various APX radios.
