• 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.

I made a wiring diagram for those who do not want to pay 80us a programming cable for M7100

ONLY
Front Mount Extended Option Accessory Cable CA101288V2

OR

Remote Extended Option Control Cable CA101288V4

Make connection DB15 (PIN6 PIN12) and the rest of the connections are correct. Works for M7100, ORION (UHF) (VHF) and 800/900 MHZ

It is normal that the radio does not turn on when the programming mode when you try to read it will display the radio control information, We tested this weekend! (13th december 2014)

Programming Cable Diagrams

The wiring diagrams for each and every programming cable are contained within the HELP SCREENS of both RPM and Radio Programmer software applications, and have been since the mid-1990's (in the case of Programmer.)
