• 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.

The FD had a hand unit that fell off the back of a POV and was found 3 days later in the snow. It got sent somewhere to get looked at and they were told it was not repairable. This happened maybe a year ago. Fast forward to last week . They were cleaning out the office and found the old carcass and was going to toss it . I was able to intercept it prior to going to the dumpster and am in the process of checking it out .

Problem #1 I came across , the knobs and antenna were missing . They said it came back from the shop that way... ( what shop steals knobs and an antenna )

#2 the ribbon cable for the keyboard was ripped completely off the vocoder board ..
#3 someone cut the entire display ribbon cable off the LCD display
#4 the connector that mates the vocoder board to the rf board is missing .

Me thinks someone screwed this thing up at the shop ( when they separated the case , they originally ripped the ribbon cable off the board) and then did their damn best to really screw it up the rest of the way ... or this was their way to permanently disable the radio.

So far , I have been able to get part numbers for what I see missing or needing replaced so far ..

7285726col or ( c01) LCD display
2885866A01 compression 26 pin
NTN9564c " vocon board" but the number on the current board says nntn4717d


Any chances of finding these parts anywhere and possible prices ?

Just talked to one of the Chiefs , it went in working minus the keypad , came back completely DOA , and now we know why.

NTN9564c (replaced with PNNTN5567D) $880.00
7285726C01 (replaced with 7285726C02) $105.00
2885866A01 $17.85

The radio may have more issues than just these parts, so I personally wouldn't risk it.

They took what was worth anything and then disabled it so it couldnt be put back in service.. As it sits its not worth it to try to fix
