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.

Today My MD 9600 lost it's display. Turned the radio on to a solid white screen. I reloaded the firmware, can do upload and download of programming but the screen is solid white.
So how does everyone like the New CPS and Firmware for the 9600? I do like the 100,000 contacts CSV display. Not sure on the split channel thing.
TYT-MD9600 Blank Screen Problem - White Screen of Death
Hi all,
This may have been asked before and answered, but here it goes. I have a version 1 MD-9600 that has suddenly decided to give me the white screen of death. The radio works and programs, but the screen stays completely blank. The buttons also appear to work but no joy on the screen. The screen worked before and suddenly stopped. I firmware upgraded to the latest version to see if that helped but no dice.
Any ideas anyone?

Same thing happened to me. I got lucky and got a replacement from the vendor.

Should I Get One ?
Hi, folks. Thinking of getting the TYT 9600 as a base unit. What's the consensus, please? Have all these many issues been addressed in the current units? Will I have to upgrade firmware and software myself once I get the unit (I can do it but shouldn't have to with a unit purchased new from an authorized distributor)? I like the idea of a dual band with DRM capability but I don't need all these headaches. Opinions appreciated. Thanks!

Want to buy mine? I actually prefer the CS 800D from Connect Systems over the MD 9600.

Appreciate the offer but I'd still like someone to weigh in on my questions. You sound like you're telling me that the CS 800D is the better radio. Anyone else, please? Thanks to all.

White screen
Mine failed this past winter every time the temperature went below 36 F it would turn white. Then one day after the temp dropped below 30 F it died. Sent it back in for repair to dealer they replaced it instead. Just got around to putting it back in my van so far it has not failed but then it hasn't been below 50 F either. Will see next winter what it does.

I believe this post from earlier in this thread will answer that...
Here's a guide on what to do...

But in the interest of keeping this mod updated I recently got an MD9600 with V6.03 firmware and the "NEW" hardware. I noticed something not seen in the images at the above link for the 1k resistor mod. There appears to already be a resistor here. But the volume seems to still get way too loud way too quick.
Any thoughts?
