• 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.

Hello Icom experts!

I just picked up a pair of used 4161DS units. Upon firing them up and holding the P0 & P3 keys I can read some info about them. However, I don't know what this info means.

The following values appear :

Rev (firmware version?)
Sum
UT-126H
DRev (UT126 firmware version?)
DSum

What are the Sum & DSum values? They are quite different on both units.

Also, one of the units says BLD CEEC in the sequence, whereas the other does not.

Programming cable has been ordered, but I am curious as to the meaning of these items. Does someone on the forum know what these mean?

Being in Canada, I'm not expecting to see RR appended to anything.

You are correct, and the other numbers are checksums.

I think the radio with BLD CEEC is a later firmware version.

You won't see RR as you have UHF radios. The railroad firmware is only available in the 3161DT.
