• 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.

What size power supply are you using? It might not be big enough. Other than that, sight unseen, it may be hard to diagnose.

I have the unit on a good power supply, 13.8v dc unit with a 15 amp constant rating... I did get the issue with the mike cue prob fixed lastnight, bent wire in the rj45 jack, that problem is now solved, but i still cannot get the unit to transmit? I used to use this radio long ago, 05' 06' for ema, and i cant find any of my info on it, or instructions on it either, moved twice, prob thrown away.... Any way to get a users manual for this radio? pdf format if possiable?

Antenna is the corect one i had in my old pov, it was with it, and how i came across the radio.... just puzzled on why it would stop working, it was removed and stored, "survived" two moves, and now just a paper weight until i can get a users manual.....

The manual won't tell you much more than how to change channels, adjust volume, turn scan on/off, etc. I haven't been able to find it but here's the service manual: M1225 Service Manual

What specifically are you trying to find out from the manual? A lot also depends on how it was actually programmed as to what is what, functionality wise.
