• 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 made an account just for this, but I've been lurking for a while. My XO has acquired a good deal of MA/COM P7100s, a far cry different from the AN/PRC 152s and 1523s we're equipped to program and fill.

My JTNT doesn't have a 25 pin port, so I can't order a TQ3392 cable. The only cable I can find compatible is the SKU 33176 cable from rfguys, who appears to be permanently gone, and I can't find one of these available.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to acquire one of these cables outside of rfguys, or any alternative solutions? I've got two weeks before our JRTC rotation, and these would be a great asset to have.

they make a 9 pin serial to radio cable. It does not require the GE RIB box of older era stuff. They do show up on ebay.

New London is definitely the way to go on this one. I still use my 7100s, solid radios! I think I got the last keyloading cable from NLT last year.
