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.

KPG-D1N programming question.
I let a shop talk me into purchasing the programming software and cable for my NX-5200. For the department I am with I needed to have the shop program in a P25 network that I won't be given the network/access key to. I was given the impression that I would still be able to program the...
I would point you in the direction of the hundred other threads that have been created on this topic.
Absolute not, there are numerous prior threads explaining why. But the bottom line is, if you already bought a Kenwood Radio for NAS it's a useless paperweight. Sell it for whatever you can get. If you haven't bought it, don't unless you want a very $$ paperweight.

Kenwood radios can be set to not allow PTT on trunked talkgroups, but the radio WILL register and respond to inhibit and regroup commands.
So, as others said, another radio, scanner or Unication.

Not a bad thing from a system manager/tech's point of view. No using 30 year old stolen software to make 30 byte keys to allow piracy. The AKEY is only available from JVC Kenwood as is the advanced hardware key to the system owner.
