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.

Do you have any idea what frequency range the radio is on?
It might help if you record the 2 sets of numbers that show up on the display when you first turn the radio on. These will determine which version of the software you need to program the radio.
Do you have a programming cable?
These radios are no longer supported by E. F. Johnson.
The drop in chargers are available all over the place. Antennas can be obtained from a number of sources.

Good solid radios. We used a lot of them on our 800MHz SmartNet system up until early last year. I hung onto a few of the better looking units. They worked as well as the XTS2500's, were cheaper and I preferred the slightly larger size.
Good luck with it!

Ah I knew I was reading my chart wrong :banghead:
Thank You for answering my question straight forward.
