• 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.

Well I'm trying to get either FleetSync or MDC1200 working in this radio. The problem I'm facing is not being able to get the PTT ID to work on either BOT or EOT. As soon as I click the button to write to the radio, I get an error stating "An error has been detected in the following entry: Beginning of Transmit".

I'm wondering if this isn't a firmware issue. This radio was bought new a few years ago. When checking the transceiver information from the KPG-89D software (version 1.60), it reads the following:

Model name: TK-7180H:K
Frequency: 136-174 MHz
Version: V1.22
Checksum: 035C

If it is a firmware issue, where can I find the latest for this radio?

Well, after some tinkering in the menu settings I was able to get it working after all. If anyone has anything to add I'm still all ears (eyes)
