• 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.

I don’t believe any “sleeve” exists.
Yeah I thought so. I heard M was making (or in the process of) a sleeve for the 8000. Heard this from more than 1 source but could not find any info about it. Thanks for the info.

I’m not positive, but I don’t think you can “modify” an existing device to make it compliant.

Yeah, agreed. That's why I asked the question, figured someone here would know even if it was not online yet. Probably just a bunch of BS.

There's a certification process. To be certified it's more than protection - there are specific functions, RSM testing with fault notification, RSM cross-compatibility, and some other things that are required

What you may be thinking of is the leather case that the APX NEXT XN uses to obtain and maintain its NFPA certification. I've not heard of anything coming along for the "traditional" XE models.

That is not a correct statement. The case is optional, as stated on the SEI documentation.
