• 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.

This Week in Unication Nation: Pager Puzzles Solved!
Antenna Anxiety: A user questioned upgrading their G4 antenna to an 800mhz Motorola one due to range issues. Overwhelming consensus: avoid aftermarket antennas, as they can damage pager pins and void warranties!
Mysterious Tone: Someone added new zones and talkgroups in PPS software, triggering a loud tone every 2-3 minutes while scanning on their G4. Solution: likely caused by TGID setting or Voice Buffering Prompt Tone – easy fixes!
G5 Zone Limits: Curiosity sparked about total zones allowed on a G5 – answer: 64 zones and 512 knob positions!
DMR Monitoring: A user sought settings to monitor DMR Capacity Plus systems with their G5, avoiding rest/home channel issues. Reality check: G5 only supports conventional DMR.
G5 Carrier Conundrum: Loud background carrier on G5 devices raised questions – possible cause: AGC issue, with users requesting further audio/video evidence for troubleshooting.
