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.

Well, they are pretty heavy
Not much to go on here. Useful information might be:
1) Steps you followed
2) What you expected to happen
3) What actually happened
A link to the system in the RR data might be useful too...

It’s self-explanatory I input all the frequencies and the correct wacn and system id. I can hear it on my radio not the pager
Are the site number and RFSS entered correctly (decimal vs hex)?

I believe on Harris systems you have to program all of the site's frequencies.

I figured I’d post this for future reference if someone does a search:
A Harris system can use ANY frequency as a control channel. You must program ALL of them in. Motorola broadcasts the CC and 3 alternate controls
Harris uses all sorts of RFSS and WACN’s. I’ve found numerous in the database wrong over the years. Using FF, FFF wildcards will actually display the proper ones. Motorola default WACN in BEE00.
Most Unications display these as values by default as DEC format. PPS wants the HEX format. Make sure you convert and use HEX in PPS.

You can set it to display HEX instead, but it’s not default. This is one of the first things missed when people are “out of range.”
