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.

Mine does the exact same thing. Pisses me off. I agree, there is some draw on the battery when off. Battery seems fine and lasts a long time but drains when sitting for long periods.

This appears to be a Wouxun "feature" - battery packs that are drained when on the radio, even when the radio is powered off. If I remove the pack from the radio for a few days and put it back on the radio, the pack holds its charge. This "feature" is also present on the newer KG-UV9D and its 7.4V/2000mAh packs.
Amy where on radio or software it self or chirp you can block option of blocking transmit on a frequency? Like ex 155.8350 I just want listen but not transmit, and how you do you alpha tags from radio IF software doest work I been watching videos I see how add chanel but don't understand how add alpha tag then make it show up instead of frequency

CPerk - Programming the radio allows for a receive frequency and a transmit frequency. If you are programming a channel where you only have monitoring privileges, not transmit, (i.e.local sheriff), then just enter the receive frequency and leave the transmit frequency field blank. Once programmed, if you try to transmit on that channel, the radio will return a loud error beep to let you know it did not transmit. I also set the power to low on these monitor only channels just as a matter of practice.
Another example of monitor only channels are those with a continuing broadcast, such as the NOA weather frequencies. I have entered all of them just as described above, only entering the monitoring frequency (i.e. 162,400 or 162,550, etc) in the receive field and leave the transmit field blank. .
If you are programming for a simplex frequency on which you want to transmit, such as the VHF Call frequency of 146.520, then you must enter 146,520 twice, once in the receive field and once in the transmit field.
If you are programming a repeater, then you must enter a different receive frequency and a transmit frequency. An example in the two meter ham band would be 146.700 for the receive frequency and 146.100 for the transmit frequency. The software will automatically populate the transmit field once a receive frequency is entered. In my case, it is the same frequency as the receive value. I then manually change the transmit value if it is a repeater channel being programmed.

with Chirp, you have the radio file displayed, go to duplex column, and change offset to none. you then have a receive only frequency. Wouxun software, I think you leave the transmit frequency blank.

My Radio does the same thing! With both batteries....what is the solution?
