I have recently purchased some of these radios and need someone who can program them. I have programmed other radios but can not find out anything on these. I am just looking for someone to program them for me. I called all the local radio shops and no one has the program to do it. I would even purchase the program to do it if I knew where to buy it from. Anyone out there that can help me?

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.

Ok, I bought a copy of ProGrammer 18 and have my cable on the way from RfGuys. I have been playing with the software and have found it very confusing. I am wanting to simply program them to transmit and receive GMRS/FRS frequencies. I have never dealt with software this complex. I have used Kenwood software and EF Johnson, both of these were very simple and all you had to do was enter the frequencies and write to the radio. Anyone out there that can explain how to simply program these radios using Programmer 18?

Would you mind sending me a copy at kg4mav at gmail.com? I would like to compare it to what I am doing here. I am having a little problem with mine and not to sure where I messed up.
Thanks

Ok, so i got my cable in and got everything turned on. When I go to read the radio it says "Radio in flash mode, check connection and try again" I have confirmed i am using the correct comm port and everything. The cable sent to me by RF guys does not have a plug on it but just wires I have to insert into the mic holes. I followed the label and i think I have them in correctly looking at the plug and using bottom right as 1... Anyone ever have this problem?

Where did you purchase the software for the radio? I am looking to purchase the software and cable. Just bought some of these radios from work.

No, it can't do 700mhz. The 7200 series and up can.
