• 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.

Is there anyone who still can/will reprogram an old VHF Midland 70-380b radio? Or better yet, what do I need to program it myself? I know it doesn't do narrow band, but it is great for using to just monitor. I'd like to change some settings and change some frequencies. I looked for a Midland thread in the forum and did a search with no luck.

Thanks for any info.
John

John -

Sent you a PM, the Midland you have can be programmed using a Midland 70-1000 series eprom programmer after you have erased the eprom in the Z-273 memory module with a UV eprom eraser.

For the ones who are not faint of heart you can unsolder the eprom from the Z-273, erase it and program it directly using most any aftermarket eprom programmer then put it back in the memory module. There is a lot of useful info also available on the Midland Yahoo group.

Ok, I'm resurrecting this old post I put up a while ago. I'm looking once again to see if anyone can program this old radio? I want to program it to use to receive marine radio. I'm in NJ. Thanks
