• 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.

Doesn't answer your question, but if it is of any indirect help, I have an EFJ 51SL ES sitting beside me here, which is a 700/800 p25 rig, and the model number of mine is 242-527C-888. Good luck.

Still doesn't answer your question exactly, but I did figure out what frequency band it is, if that is of interest to you.

According to the software I have, the 4 digit part of the model number (in your case, 5113) shows the freqency band.

This number ...
Corresponds to this band ...

xx1x
VHF
xx2x
UHF 380
xx4x
UHF High
xx6x
UHF 380
xx7x
700/800 MHz
xx9x
900 MHz

So, I guess that radio you are looking at is a VHF model if that helps at all.

5113 VHF 5W, 136-174 MHz, Model III
-3 VHF Antenna, 162-174 MHz (not too important, you can swap antennas)
1 Extra-High Capp Battery Pack, NiMH (again, not too important)
0 Black Housing

Next digit should be 2 for P25 CAI. Don't know what "G" has to do with anything.

Thanks everyone, I got the answer a while back from here The Radio Information Board • View topic - MODEL STRING DECODE REQUESTS ONLY



FWRADIO.... I think the G stands for government, I bought the radio and it has fpp :)

Slightly off the main direction of this thread, but does anyone know if EFJ still supports the 5100 portable radio to do rebanding on an 800 MHz. version?

I see here a number of specific models, Is there a Master list/chart with all 5100 models? If I could find the information, I could make the list in excel....

Also for you experts, I here talk of a PRC military version of the 5100, any truth to the story?

For decoding the model number of 5100s and 5300s, this file [http://www.repeater-builder.com/johnson/51xx-53xx-models.txt] may be useful.

And yes there is a PRC version
