• 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.

XTL2500 Trunking Help

Just acquired an XTL2500 model is M21KTM9PW1AN and was looking to be able to use it with the MOSWIN network here in Missouri. When I received the radio, it was not flashed for anything other than conventional use, so I did some extensive research and was able to get into Depot (15) and change some things around. I flashed it to what I thought would be needed:

G51 - SMARTZONE Systems Operation
G806 - ASTRO Digital Operation
G173 - SMARTZONE OMNILINK Multizone Operation
G361 - ASTRO 25 9600 Baud Trunking Systems Operation
G114 - Enhanced Digital ID Display
W969 - Multikey
G507 - 12.5 kHz FCC Mandate
G996 - Over the air Provisioning
W947 - Packet Data Interface
G193 - ADP Encryption Software DSP Based Only

I am using a mix between the R20 Astro software and the R15 depot to program (I know, they don't match). I don't know that this is any of the issue, however. I have an ASK iButton dongle from the State of Missouri which works flawlessly with our APX fleet. The XTL2500 series is also an approved radio for use on the network as well. After spending HOURS on this, I cannot seem to get the Astro 25 CPS to do much with the data on the ASK. When I attempt to load the advanced systems key into the cps, it shows the message on the bottom left that it worked or whatever it says. Trunking options seem to be void.

This CPS is a bit different than the APX obviously so I've been trying to duplicate and transfer information as I can, but am I going to have to build this from the ground up or something in order to get all this trunking data into the CPS?

Discussion of ways to hack or bypass licensing for legitimate software will be shut down and deleted immediately, as will discussion of ways to acquire restricted software, or possession/use of restricted software such as Depot. Likewise, discussion of ways to bypass system key protections, illegally obtain system keys, or illegally create system keys will be deleted immediately.
