• 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.

Hi all.

I have a friend who bought a VX-354 off his neighbor for the FD. I have the software and a Vertex cable for it. When downloading, or trying to upload it asks me for a password. Is this user programmable? Is there any way to get around it? I am very familiar with Motorolas, but this is my first venture into trying to program a LMR Vertex.

Thanks

Tyler

Tyler, I would try to contact the dealer that programmed it from the start. He may give you the password and he may not. Some dealers will put passwords on radios so you have to pay them money to unlock it or reprogram it, while other dealers will put a password on it incase of ever stolen. The only way to get around it I believe is to flash it with filware that is hard to get a hold of.

Thanks for the info. I ended up just giving a few things a try and found it out. 000000 Needless to say the password has been taken off totally now.
