• 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.

Dont burn me too bad but I purchased a Motorola GP360 on Ebay and got it today. It is a great radio with 255 channels for just scanning.

The transformer that I got says 50hz on it. Not 50/60 hz. Can I use this transformer here in the US? I read that it wont get hot since the coil in it is bigger and wound tighter for 50hz.

I have a transformer and charger for a PR860 so I am good on charging it but just waiting and not using the transformer and charger that came with it.

The charger that came with it says 50/60 but only the transformer says 50hz (not 50/60).

Check the voltage, if the same input voltage, 120 volts AC it should work OK on 60 Hz.

Be sure to monitor the transformer heat when you first use it. If it does not get hot, you are OK.
