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.

The LPE Series unlocks features within the radio by a feature encryption code that is stored on a surface mounted chip. This code only works for the Electronic Serial Number of that radio and the ESN number is stored on a different chip. I have not researched which chip(s) stores the ESN & Feature Code as is will be very hard to upgrade a radio without following the procedure below.
Good Luck
FEATURE OPTION CODES
"After Market" Feature Option Codes Are To Be Ordered Through The Technical Assistance Center
Feature encryption gives a radio user the ability to selectively upgrade radios or "build-in" EDACS value-added features in the field. As the customer’s requirements grow, the radio’s features can be expanded. Feature Encryption is an outstanding tool to custom-fit a radio to the customer’s operational and budgetary requirements. This is possible because it provides a means of easy field upgrades that allow the radios to keep pace with the user’s growing requirements.
Feature Encryption is available for the following product families:
MRK - Conventional and EDACS
Orion - Conventional and EDACS
PCS/MDX/MDR - Conventional and EDACS
LPE-200 - EDACS
LPE-50 - EDACS (Only 16 to 128 System/Groups and ESK upgrade available)
Monogram - EDACS
EDACS 500M
Jaguar 700P/Pi
Jaguar 725M
P7100IP
M7100IP
P5100IP
Note: For any model not listed, please contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
The Feature Encryption process is as follows:
Contact the Technical Assistance Center (800-528-7711 or 434-385-2400 - press option 3) or request can also be faxed to (434) 455-6690. You must provide the Customer Service Representative with the following information:
Model Number or Package Combination Number
Physical Serial Number
Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
Existing Feature Encryption String
Purchase Order Number and/or SAP Sales Order Number
The Customer is billed and the process is complete.
For more detailed information please reference Technical Service Memo (TSM), Volume 17, Number 5B.
** NOTE: M/A-Com reserves the right to charge a service fee to restore feature encryption that’s lost or unknown in corrupted radios, or removing features previously purchased.
