• 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.

Running Armada software on an M4 MacBook Air.... software runs fine, but the radio WILL not connect to the machine. I received an ARM driver from EFJ, but even after following their directions, I still cannot get it to work with the USBLAN. Just wondering if anyone has been able to successfully get this to function (on a Mac running Windows 11 ARM based processor)

Edit: I currently have to use an old Surface Pro to program this radio. All other Motorola, Kenwood, and other radios work fine! This is becoming the death of me! I may just move forward w/ OTIP feature, but hoping to make the cable method work!

KPG and Armada programs were not designed for the ARM procesors.

Local dealer got a ARM driver from EFJ….
Software for multiple KPG programs and Armada itself run completely fine on the ARM machine.

There are ARM drivers for all of my other radios (several kenwoods including NX series) that work just fine as well. Just struggling with this current Vp8000 USBLAN driver. I have a buddy who is much better with computers remoting into my machine later on to take a look. Hoping we can get this to work (especially with this driver direct from EFJ) prior to buying OTIP.
