• 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.

Will any of the Icom portables support P25 Phase 2? Or will I be forced to look at another brand?

No. Icom does not yet support P25 Phase II TDMA.

I don't think iit would be all that hard assuming the hardware being upgraded, maybe to costily considering the fact that their are not enough agencies that have gone tdma yet. Also, considering its typical for Motorola solutions to sell the type of tier radio only.

Just FYI, there are over 100 Phase 2 systems out there, and all new systems being built by Harris, Moto and Airbus and Phase 2 capable.

Thanks for the replies. I have taken a likening to the Icoms over the Motorolas that I've been used to working with and I am trying to figure out which way to go for my personal P25 upgrade
