• 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.

v1.22 is the latest and is the only one available on the dealer tools page. Unless you can find someone that has an archived copy, you'll likely only be able to get the latest version from a dealer.

It should, being able to select low or high power is a standard advertised feature of the radio.

If you meant actually being able to set the specific output level for the low and high settings, that isn't part of the programming, it's part of the service mode.

In the software I have there is no option for high/low transmit, my ONLY complaint with the radio/software.

Odd I was able to program high and low power channels in my TK-8180... You need to open the channel edit window... It is there... I promise. The only thing I would change on the x180 series is the ability to program a button to toggle low power. Great radios.. Love my TK -8180.

That's what I meant, Kayn1n32008 - you can't program a button to do high/low power!

The software does not allow the ability to program a button to select low power. You mist program channels twice, one high power one low power. Only the portables allow a button to be programmed for low power.

That's what I was thinking kayn1, programming two channels - that must be why there's 512 channels!!!
