• 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.

Is there a way to change your Home button to another bank or channel by the front face and not have to go into the program software to change it?

All button assignments must be done with the CPS. Although, as is, the Home button is not configurable. There might be some way to "trick" it into doing something else but that would require modifying the software (and or codeplug, not sure).

Is it a model 3? If so, you can set one-press memories such as on your AM/FM car radio by using the 1, 2, and 3 (top row) numerical keys on the key pad

Place the radio on the zone and channel you want to 1-press access, and long press the desired top row numerical key until the radio gives a high beep. Now no matter which zone or channel you are on, a short press on the preset key will select your preset zone and channel/talkgroup combo. Too bad it only works on the top row keys, but I find it to be a great feature anyway.

Not sure how far back in the firmware and software versions this goes.
