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 just purchased a TK-7360 for 1st response, Red Cross, and ham use, being both an EMT and a ham. The programming software and cable are backordered, but I'm planning how I will increase my channel lineup and want to understand how zones and channels work.

I can have 128 zones and 128 channels. So lets say I want a Vermont zone, #1, with 9 nationwide interoperability channels and 10 other channels. Say I have a Connecticut zone, #2, with the same 9 interoperability channels and 10 channels that are completely different from the channels in zone 1.

So that adds up to 2 zones and 29 different channels. So do I have 99 channels left, or do the 9 channels that appear in both zones get counted twice, meaning I only have 90 channels left?
