• 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.

Is Hytera SW backwards compatible?

I’m trying to program my Hytera TM600v with V3.01.02 software. When I try to read the personality it gives me an error that I need to upgrade to V5.01.01. I’m assuming that’s the CPS SW rev and not the FW.
I cannot locate V5.01.01. This is a vhf analog radio. I can find other versions of SW but nothing above V3.01.XX for the TM600v.
I have v5.01.01 for the TC 510 which is a handheld but the TM600v model isn’t listed in the model.dat file of the program. I tried to add the model using notepad but it is protected and won’t let me save it.
Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there any later versions that are backwards compatible to 5.01.01? Is there another way to modify the model.dat file to add the TM600 for testing? I was going to try saving under a different extension but it won’t let me due to permissions.

Thanks..

Don.
