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.

Either is good. Laptops are better if you think you're gonna have to do some programming away from the home/shop.
Make sure you get a cable from a reputable source though. I recommend KAWAMALL on Ebay. But there are others that are just as good. As far as software, find you a Kenwood dealer that will sell it to you.

there is a Windows version of the KPG-38D. Version 2.xx. You don't need a slower computer to program 90 series radios. Any computer with Windows 98 or newer will work to my knowledge.
I use a Windows XP laptop to program Tk-290s with KPG-38D and works with no problems. This software will also program the TK-390.

tk-390 programming
Thanks guys for the great start-off, I had trouble at first, but used a laptop, and got it running. Where do you program DPL, and PL tones? Sorry to be a prob, but still learning. Thanks

I own a TK380 and it does(440-450MHz) ham band just fine, the software give me an OOB warning but allows the frequencies to be programmed. I would imagine the TK390 software is no different.
