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.

Yes, they can be reprogrammed.
When you say "Other System", that raises some questions. These radios are either VHF OR UHF. The "other system" would need to be on the same band, same mode (analog or DMR), etc.
Since you posted this in the Amateur Radio Forum, I've got to ask if you meant you wanted to use it on the amateur radio bands, or are you strictly talking about using this for "work" use?

Okay that's a great start! My workplace used to have multiple radio users on a network which I imagine is either UTF or VHF but due to it being locked to their network it cannot be used on anything else.
Which is why I wanted to reprogramme so I can use it in the same way in my new workplace. As you can probably tell I am very unfamiliar with this.
Thank you buddy.

Under the battery there will be a label with a bunch of info on it. There should be an FCC ID on there. That would tell us if it was UHF (there's two models) or VHF.
Then you'd need to know a lot of info about the work system that you want to put it on.
If they are compatible the next legal step is to get permission in writing from whoever the FCC license is assigned to at your new job. Adding a radio to someone else's radio system, even if you work for them, requires approval from the licensee. Simply being an employee does not grant you access to their radio system or permit you to make changes to it, like adding additional radios.
With that and the correct programming info, you could take it to a Motorola shop and they could reprogram the radio for you.
It won't be cheap, though.
