• 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.

Hello RR People,

I have a VHF TK-5210 and I just switched computers and my old laptop is on the fritz. I have the software legit key etc and everything programs just fine. I loaded the software into the new laptop and I am having issues programming. I believe this to be a USB Driver issue as I don't have them loaded nor do I remember what I did the last time on the old comp to get them up and running (IE Software). Where can I find the USB Driver Software ?

Are you talking about drivers for the computer as whole or just drivers for the usb program cable?

If you need drivers for the computer, then go to their web site and lok for them, if you need driver for the program cable, the google proflic usb drivers and down load PL2303.

This driver works with just about every usb cable that I use (over 20 differant cables) and then you should be good to go.

Also, make sure that you are using the correct com port. plug the cable into the port, open computer properties, hardware, device manager, com ports and see what port is id'ed.

After you have done that, open the program and check what port is maked, should be the same.
