Can the 800mhz LPE-200 do 900 amateur?
Thanks!
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.

ahhh. What about the Jag?

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
Correct. The Jaguar was only officially available in 800 MHz. But some engineering prototypes in VHF, UHF, (high and low split), and 900 MHz do exist.
IF they are based on the later RU series circuit board, they can be turned into 7100s
via the Radio Maintenance program, by reading the tracking data, editing it to change the
radio type, and then programming the radio with the new tracking data. Then, the
software will allow you to program these "other band" radios appropriately.
The software (any released version) doesn't have any programming option for a regular Jaguar (700p) in any band other than 800 MHz.

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
Here's something to try: Hack ProGrammer.
Here's how I'd do it:
Create a file to program a radio with TWO conventional channels in it. Each channel is at the band limit. Whatever it might be...
Save it, and now edit it to change the two channel frequencies by the absolute minimum increment possible. Save this one, too.
These codeplugs need to be as small, simple, and basic as possible. The difference between the two codeplugs will ONLY be the two frequencies in them. Otherwise, they should be IDENTICAL.
Using Hex Workshop, open both files and compare them carefully. They SHOULD be different only in the frequency data.
Once you've FOUND that frequency data, which I PRESUME will NOT be something easily readable like "921.00000", then at least you can refer to the version that is programmed with the actual band limits. Find those band limits you programmed into them, and
then using the limit frequencies AS DISPLAYED in Hex workshop, FIND THOSE DATA
STRINGS in various ProGrammer files.
These SHOULD be the band limits in ProGrammer.
Now, assuming you've FOUND the band limits in ProGrammer, edit them to match the
MODIFIED versions you put into the SECOND radio file you made. Save your changes
and start ProGrammer.
IF I'm right, and IF you did it right, your band limits will now have changed to be those
of the second file you set.
You're now about 80 percent of the way to your goal.
My belief is that Programmer handles frequency data as a hex offset from a reference
frequency. If you make a few experimental channel edits, you should be able to deduce
the arithmetic rules for frequency conversions. Once you do that, you should then be
able to program any arbitrary frequency limits you wish by making the appropriate edits
in ProGrammer where the band limits are stored.
Good luck. Try it and report back, please. I think I'll do the same.
