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.

I wasn't sure how to classify the listing violation, but I managed to send a brief description of the situation to ebay. If you're going to scam fellow ebayers, at least make sure you use a different username.
How do we know he didn't buy more than one at the auction and this is just a working one?
Well then, this wording would indicate he can't use an XTS at all, "The Radio is being sold for parts/non working/repair because I have no battery and no charger to test it with."
How's he using the radio to try to program it then?
hmmm...

Very true, He should have simply stated because it fails to program properly.

Still sounds like he is using the XTS3000/RIB setup to try and read the radio.

He appears to have the right cable XTS 5000 and CPS.
He's never been 100% clear on what he's using.
I asked him to describe his programming setup and all I got back was that he can program an XTS3000 without problems.
Hard to help when he won't answer your questions.
Then again, after seeing his Ebay auction, why bother?

I agree the entire programming scenario question + auction is very weird...

it's Ebay...I don't call it brokenstolenradios.com for nothing.
You roll the dice, take your chances.

Get a newer version of Depot. Also it might be appropriate to update your eBay listing stating what the problem is with the radio. Obviously by the posts you've made here you have the ability to test the radio.

Seeing as you outright lied on your eBay auction, your not likely to get much further help.
You already have the tools needed to fix that radio. That's all I'm going to say...........

bigger question is why was it inhibited? could it be the agency didn't intend to surplus such a radio so early and noticed it was missing? since you claim to have bought it from a PD auction, give their radio shop a call. Something tells me they might be missing an XTS5000....
Or.. He already programmed it for a trunked system and now got it inhibited and is using that story that he bought it from an auction " Like that" to get it uninhibited?
That was my concern as well.
Innocent until proven guilty however his Ebay stunt proves that he's not the most trustworthy individual.
With that in mind, I'd be cautious offering any further help.
