• 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.

Technical Services Memo Vol 39 #05

Category: TM8200, TM9100, TM9300 and TM9400 Mobiles using Hand Held Control Heads (HHCH)

Subject: Power On/Off with HHCH Radios

Summary: Two issues with recent supply of curly cord parts for the HHCH have occurred causing intermittent failure for the end-users to Power-On and/or Off the radio from the Control Head’s On/Off button.

Problem 1:

There are issues around the edges of the RJ45 plug plastics creating a lip over the end pin contact. See circled area below – looking into the front of the RJ45 plug.

Problem 2:
A second problem with the crimping of the RJ45 came to light on the production line. Two HHCH were found in the FGStock audit with intermittent on/off problem. A close inspection of the RJ45 showed they were ‘overcrimped’ which causes the contact with the socket to be intermittent.


Action:
Check all Hand Held Control Heads received between May 1st 2017 through July 10th, 2017.
If any Hand Held Control Head curly cords (Part# IPN 219-03080-01) are identified having this issue, please contact Customer Care Center for a replacement.
