• 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.

I have a Icom ic 221s programming it with cs-f100s. When I turn the radio on it's like the squelch is turned down all the way down(making squelch noises), but I can transmit though it with another radio, so I know the radio can receive. I'm missing something in the setting. I played around with the squelch in the program it will not even receive also not squelching. Need help

I did check that and put 50 on squelch did not help. It’s loud squelch with receive transmission or put in 60, silent and no receive transmission.

Well I alwasy start at 120. If 60 clears up the noise and your not receiving then either your too far away from the signal or you have something else wrong.

I think something else is wrong. Do you think that the usb cable was from a ic 221 vhf radio and I’m using it on a 221s uhf radio is the problem? I know the program is f100s
