• 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.

Depends on exactly what you are trying to do.

There is the programming interface, in which you need KPG-111 programming software.

There is also a communications method that allows you to "talk" to the radio using "J-commands".

There is also the data communications modes used to pass data across the RF channel to other radios.

Which one are you looking for?

I no need to program the radio (KPG-111), I want to j-commands for serial communication, i configured in the radio the COM1, and also I identified the TX/RX port. I have ready the serial comunication between PC to Radio, but my NX700 doen't send any data, i need to know the protocols for this communication

Ah, OK, J-commands….

So, the in depth manual for these radios mentions the J-command serial output, but there are no details. I suspect this is something that Kenwood would release to developers.

Either way, I've never seen any detailed documentation on J-commands for Kenwood.

Doing some web searches on "Kenwood J-command FleetSync" will show you the same stuff I've found.
