• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Thanks, I'm thinking about buying one of these. So I joined the group to see what others have to say.

I guess I'll bump this thread.

Looks like a solid radio

Anyone get their hands on one yet??

Yes. After many sputters from the software developer on getting Import to work, it seems to work fine now. I haven't had a chance to use the radio much, but it, too, seems to work fine. Several annoyances have already been reported (e.g., the nasty sounding beep when you use the mic's Up or Down buttons).

If anything develops, I'll report here and on the Yahoo! group.

Any new info on these rigs?

Also I keep seeing a different UHF split listed for this model. Some indicate that's 400-490 and others show it up to 512.

Can anyone confirm the actual range? And by confirm I mean someone that has actually had the radio in front of them. Actually touched or played with it.

If you haven't yet, join the Yahoo! group.

Mine goes to 490, which is too bad, since just another 4 MHz would have let it operate on the 490 MHz expansion band here in Houston.

Thanks.

I will check into the group. I really need coverage(for now) up to 512.

My head hurts trying to compare all these different radios and none of them seem to list the same specs on what appears to be the same exact radios. And now Wouxun has this quad bander out....

wouxun kg uv950p quad band mobile radio.

i got one of these radios for christmas and have to say i am very happy with it. my only complaint is the uhf side only goes up to 479.995 which sucks is if i go to nyc and try to monitor some of the tac freqs that are on 485.000 and above i have to use my portable. but other then that everything else seems to fit the needs that i have.

What issues were you having with import? I'm currently having issues getting it to import the 2.5khz step for some commercial freqs I need.
