• 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.

GE Panther 500P Programming Problem

I was wondering if somebody could help me with some programming issues that I am having with a set of Panther 500P. The software that I have is ProGrammer R17. I also have an OEM cable and a TQ3370 RIB. The program will read the data from the radios just fine but when I go to program a personality in, the software returns an error "Write not Verified" and then the unit will freeze with every icon in the LCD lit up when I attempt to power it on. What am I doing wrong? It's not unit specific because I have tried it with three different Panther 500P units that I have and it still does the same thing. I have a backup of the original personality and when I attempt to restore it, the same thing happens. I am not sure what's going on here. The software programs every other type of radio that I have just fine, but not these. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
