• 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.

Where are Flash Codes found ? (purchased?)

I have a Astro Saber III and I am looking to Flash it for MODAT (Q351); are these Flashes purchasable (honest question--pardon my ignorance), from Motorola? Or is there some other after-market way? Thanks.

Attn Moderator, I am not trying to buy or sell anything! Just trying to understand the process.

I think you would have to have a dealer flash it or even maybe to send it to Mother M.

You will have to request the upgrade from a local MSS. If you have CPS then you can do the upgrade yourself. If you don't then the MSS will have to do it.

What is your current flashcode?

If you have newer firmware and enable MODAT in the flash your audio will be muffled. It's a known bug.

PM me for more details.

Does this mean I can buy any radio I want and i have the ability to flash it to whatever I want?
