• 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.

I'm newbie in radio (especially in GE). Recently i bought from eBay M-RK II. But when i power on, it show only dashes on display. It's not display problem because i when i connect it to Programmer, LCD work perfectly. I think that's firmware problem. Anyone can help with it?

Probably an error in your codeplug. (no codeplug)
Starting out with Programmer can be a hefty learning curve for novice. Use the help tab, a lot.

Where can I purchase a copy of the programming software and cable for the GE Ericsson MRK radio? I have searched high and low all over the internet and two companies that deal with older radios. I can't find a lead anywhere on it.
Thanks for any input or leads.

I use Programmer v 20 for these older radios. Used to find cables on ebay, but getting so obsolete they are a hard find.
My cable I got from 'RFGUYS' before they went out of business, that is # 33950 if any are around.
