Motorola MTX Software

[francois_pmc]

I just got a MTX that was discontinued in 2014 and im trying to find the software. The model number that the radio says it is H01ucf6db5an nx. Ive never had a motorola before so if anyone can give advice on how to reprogram the radios frequencies that would be helpful

What frequency are you attempting to put in it. Thats an old analog 800mhz radio.

 

[francois_pmc]

I was hoping to get frequency’s that are like 150mhz but if it can only do 800 I would just put some basic frequency for communication between my 3 radios I got

Do you have a license for any 800 frequencies? If not then you can’t just transmit on any random frequency you pick out of the air.

 

[Giddyuptd]

There is no license free or any just use frequencies in the 800mhz

Is the OP in the US?

I would say garbage or doorstop, an 800 analog only radio is gonna be utterly useless.

Do you know where I can get the software for it

Unfortunately at this point since that radio is so old, you'll have to rely on your Google skills to find a site that might have it.

Don't overlook the old Windows computer needed to program it if you ever find the programming software. At best, Windows XP is the fastest OS that it might accept.

There is nowhere you can legally use that radio without a license. I wish you no luck in finding what you want. You'll probably end up interfering with public safety with your lack of professional radio knowledge. Based on your other posts, you should probably stop buying radios you don't know how to operate until you gather the knowledge of how to legally use them. There is coordination to prevent interfering with licensed users such as police, fire, EMS, and other licensed business users. Radio is not a free-for-all where you can just transmit wherever you want.

You should probably stick with license free radios like the ones sold at Walmart. If you have legitimate needs for farming or business purposes then consult a local professional radio shop to help you get what you need. Perhaps that is your own licensed frequency or perhaps the shop has licenses they will sell you radios to operate on.

Well now I have to go back to our frequency coordinator and get a refund!

About the only legal use possible for that radio at this point is to use it to listen to the 800 MHz conventional mutual aid frequencies, which are very rarely used anyway. So rarely used that I've literally never heard them used other than for technicians doing radio checks to ensure that the radios and repeaters were working. So....useless.

Depends on where you are. Here in Palm Beach County, the NpSpac freq’s are never used. But down in Dade County, they’re used daily, & not just for radio checks. Matter of fact, last night 8 Call 90 had so much radio traffic, I had to turn the radio down so I could hear the TV.

The whole Part number is MTX? or is it like MTX1550 MTX4550?

You might be confusing everyone with your Canadian radio.

MTX1550 will take a VHF frequency all day. 12.5 kHz only. MTX or MTX850 MTX8250 are all 800Mhz only. Motorola won't sell anyone that software anymore i don't think so you'll have to find it or a shop that will do it for you. If you have some chemical or oil and gas industries in your area the local Motorola shop should have the ability to program these IS Canada only radios.

He gave the full model number in the first post. It's an 800MHz radio.
