programming

I just picked up a used Alinco DR-600T. Whenever I remove DC power, it loses all of it's program settings. Is there an internal battery that is needed to retain those settings, or does it require constant DC voltage at the power terminal? The user manual doesn't say anything about it.

Hello, For some reason both CPS 2.0 and 16.0 will not read my UHF 3600. This is the info off the back. Can someone tell the EXACT CPS that will work? Even a link to it if possible? Cheers 15/12/10 R0934196 S/T: PMUE2356CAEBA VER: R01.06.30 MODEL: MDH56QDH9JA1AN

Is there a specific list of states that have encrypted highway patrol? Or should I start looking into purchasing upgrades? The reason I ask: I was on a road trip recently. I programmed my scanner (with gps), and some states would catch broadcasts almost every minute, it seemed. But then some...

Hello all. I am trying to sort out my new NX-1800 Analogue Kenwood radio. Have been having zero luck with the programming software and cable. 46U cable is plugged in, KPG-D7 software is running. I try to get info from Receiver and it doesn't do anything. Keeps getting an error. Very...

I have recently purchased a Kenwood TK-7160HK second hand. When I went to program it I ran into a read and a write authorization password. I asked the guy I bought it from if he knew the password and he did not. He's also not a radio guy so I get it. Is there anyway to remove the password lock...

Hello All, Recently I took on a project to try to re-program some minitor V pagers. A neighboring agency provided us with a Minitor V & IV USB programmer. I was playing around last night and can’t seem to figure out to get the pager actually programmed. As it’s able to read the data from the...

So this feels like a total new guy question, but I am not sure I have ever really had a decent answer on it. I am reprogramming my BCD996p2 for the truck. As we know NJICS is just a large number of systems all over the state. That being said, we have some channels in certain areas that overlap...

Looking for help on setting up for uniden 996p2 to priority scan a certain channel. I have 2 channels programmed into the scanner. 1. Digital Trunked 2. Analog Conventional I want to set it so that if that Digital trunked channel is talking and then the analog conventional starts to talk it...

I've successfully programmed the radio and connected to the network via a hotspot, which is sufficient since we lack DMR repeaters in our area. However, it's quite bothersome that the first 20 or so channels programmed as digital channels appear as actual channels that can be changed using the...

So I received my VP8000 and just received my programming cable via UPS. The VP8000 shows a screen saying "Connect to Armada for option programming," so I am assuming I should first start with Armada. Anyone know of a guide that walks you through how to start using Armada? Does one need to create...

I lost my programming rib box and cable for this radio and It's still programmed to the west texas area, it's VHF and I want to program it for the Austin / Central Texas region where I live now, but trying to avoid spending $75+/- to replace the box/cable. If anyone has the setup to program...

I recently purchased four (4) Ansoko 888S radios to try with our already existing company radios that range from Vertex Standard, to ICOM, to Hytera, to Baofeng, to Midland. I am programming the 888S radios using CHIRP. I am able to hear the conversations from my other radios on the 888S radios...

Howdy everyone. I am currently using FreeSCAN to attempt to program a Uniden 996P2 with the MTO Central Patrol Group on the LMRN system. The process I'm following is how I typically program the scanners for my tow truck - use FreeSCAN to import RRDB database, select my local towers (King City...

Hi, I purchased an XPR3500e a while ago, programmed to a local school's Capacity Plus system. I saw this thread on how to reset it but I don't want to reset the data to an original codeplug. I want to turn TX off and have the info for my other radios. Is there a way to keep the data? I am...

Yesterday I purchased the license for the Kenwood KPG-D1 software. I authenticated it with the KPT-300 software. I opened KPG up today and this popped up. I reinstalled the KPG software and it is still popping up. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm calling this "Redux" because of finding previous discussions about the RadioShack PRO-84 "Racing" Scanner. I just picked one up for a nice price, and it seems a handy little radio for analog listening, including 11m CB and the expected VHF/UHF Amateur bands. Now in 2025, is there a...

Radio: TK-7302HV The 25-pin D-Sub ACC connector on the rear is being used solely for an external speaker with its own independent volume control. Prior to reprogramming, the speaker worked fine and audio was clearly audible. After updating the radio, the external speaker output is now extremely...
