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.

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
I could only WISH that P25 TDMA was a thing in conventional operation. But I have yet to hear of that being available, from any manufacturer.

@KevinC literally just posted about that very thing barely two hours ago, and you've already gotten it partially wrong! 🤦♂️ Good grief, why do you insist on chiming in on literally every NAS thread when it's clear that a good deal of your info is outdated or you're out of touch with modern radios/methods? What happened to the "I'm no longer going to participate in NAS discussions" claim you made last year? Maybe you should stick to that and stop posting walls of text that amount to nothing.

Maybe I'm getting older and my memory isn't the best. Consider just deleting anything I say that's wrong and not commenting on it, rather than trying to shame me on a forum. You know, that'd actually be kind of nice...for a change.
If you have something to correct me on, feel free to contact me via private message about it. I really would appreciate that basic courtesy.

@ElroyJetson I understand your point about not wanting to be publicly "shamed", however at the same time...if you're going to continue to post so often even after being corrected on multiple occasions through the years, you're opening yourself up to public criticism. Again, I suggest that you follow your original plan to abstain from chiming in on NAS topics, it really is for the best at this point as you're simply (badly) regurgitating info from others or posting the same old ramblings.

Keys are touchy things. If you don't know where or how to obtain...then its probably better to find someone that knows what they are doing like a radio shop or a very good radio buddy

Somewhat OT but I see most stuff being replaced by LTE. Maybe we will have TS for a TDMA conventional, sorta like DMR. But I don't see that soon since it's not Motorola's interest, why have a TDMA p25 conventional when you can sell them a shiny new system for millions? Maybe if like Phase 3 comes out there like ah screw it and do that but I think it's unlikely.
I don't think a shop would generate keys for NAS maybe I'm wrong.

That's generally referred to as a career ending event. Most radio guys are smart enough to not leak things like that. There is some integrity in the industry, but there's always a few that lack it.
Those that have a legitimate need to monitor a trunked system would have their agency properly request it through the system administrator, and the radio would be properly set up by a knowledgeable person (not a YouTubes expert). Or, they'd use a scanner.
But, like I said, there are better radios for doing NAS that don't require all this sneaky stuff. Unfortunately there are Motorola FanBois that have to have the batwings.

I heard of a "tech" that gave this guy a NAS CPG and I looked at it and I told him I refused to program it cause CH1 was CNV and ch2-16 were TRK. We have not talked since.

hmm? I was told by a friend they can do as many TG scans. maybe he meant the BKR 9000 or whatever the new one is and yes Multi Sys because I've seen 2 systems being monitored at once but again it might have been the 9000 or whatever BKR released recently. I have not gotten to play with a KNG just yet.

Even if it's only 16 would you rather someone affiliate? there precious $3000 TDMA tagless Motorola or a sub-par $3000 KNG that can LEGALLY nas?
