• 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 was on this forum and on Batlabs looking at model number decoding. I'm trying to see how many channels the radio is and what frequency range it is. Here is the numbers AAH258DF9AA5AN, the 5 after the second AA should be the number of channels in the radio, I thing??? But it's not on any on the lists. Thanks John

John,

  • The correct model number is AAH25SDF9AA5AN, I believe, but I don't find SDF in any of my charts.
  • AAH25 standard for the portables in the Pro Series.
  • What you have as an 8 should actually be an S which makes it UHF2 450-527 MHz.
  • The D indicates a 4 watt UHF radio.
  • Where you have an F, the charts list C=No Display, D=Limited Keypad, H=1 line display. If the H is actually an F, then the radio should have a DTMF keypad.
  • 9 means it is programmable
  • AA means conventional
  • 5 = 128 channels
  • AN is the revision level

Take a closer look at the model number on the radio.

I don't have the radio, it's a radio i'm look at buying. That's the number that the owner of the radio gave me. I'll have to ask for him to recheck it I guess.

Double check the model number with him. The high split UHF is not that common, but if that's what you want or need, fine.

If I was looking at that radio, I would insist that the seller send me a good quality, well focused close-up pic of the entire label that is under the battery. That way, you have the model number and the serial number. Not only can you verify the radio from the model number, but from the serial number you can check to see if the radio is stolen and also determine the age of the unit. If the seller is legit, he won't balk at providing that for you.
