I received a replacement for my radio from Jetstream this weekend and noticed they have made some changes since my original radio was built. My radio is marked "V1.05," but it appears to be set up with the newer firmware of the Leixen V1.07 radios with the separate memory banks for A and B. Chirp nor the Jetstream factory software for the V1.05 seem to support the latest version of the firmware with the separate memory banks. I've checked the miklor.com site, but only found the older firmware versions for the Jetstream radios. Jetstream indicated Chirp would work but I have the 11/20/2016 daily build, and I could not get it to properly read the data with two memory banks, either as a Jetstream product or Leixen. Its pretty apparent the Jetstream radio and the Leixen are from the same basic design, but would the Leixen factory software for V1.07 work with the Jetstream? I'm not sure of any specific changes in the design that would adversely affect it, but wanted to make sure before trying to download things into the radio. Or if anyone has updated Jetstream specific software they could point me to, that would be great. Thanks

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.
