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.

How did you get tricked into buying an XTS? Why don't you just do some research and figure out how to program it by yourself.
I think you’ll find no one on here will want to be responsible for your use of a subscriber radio as a hobbyist receiver. I am just recanting the impression I have picked up on here, as I have no knowledge on the subject.
Maybe a radio shop will program it for you… not sure.

There's enough information floating around, here and on other sites, that if you really want to learn how to program your radio to do what you want it to, nothing stands in your way except your own motivation. Or lack thereof.
Maybe he can hookup with this guy and get a quantity discount...

The real thing here is that hand held radios like the motorola are pretty dreadful scanners - not what they're built for, and for most the fun in listening is the ability to add new channels you have found, and get rid of empty ones, so the notion somebody can do this for you is just wrong. googling and listening provide clues, but it's ll location specific. If you cannot do the research and program your radio yourself, it's like a blind man trying to read a paper manual - it never works.
You have a great communication tool but it's no scanner. Any radio without keyboard frequency programming is rubbish for scanning.

Wonder how many times my wife would buy the "tricked into buying a radio" story before she divorces me?
Well the Radio Guru is selling his radio that they do not know how to program so there goes the package deal for the OP.
