• 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.

Hey everyone, so I am kinda new to all of this but if anyone could help me out and walk me through the whole fleetsync or mdc1200 setup would be a big help. I have a tk 3180 and to 8180 and I'm trying to get the radio ids to show up on the radio when you key the mic this way the other person knows who's talking. but everything I have tried is not working. I have read a bunch of threads on the fleetsync and MDC 1200 but I have to be missing something. Any help would be great. Thanks

there should be an option in programming software under fleetsync titled "CALLER ID DISPLAY" make sure that is checked. some radios have 2 versions. version 1.0 can do fleetsync but not all options are supported (including caller id) version 2.0 can handle all other settings. if this is the case the software should tell you a warning message about "some features are not supported...." when trying to write to the radio, but as well check the kenwood tag where the model number is if you see "Ver 2.0" and are getting the error in the software then you need a firmware update which jvc kenwood corp. will kindly email to you free but you need a firmware programming software which should of been a file included with radio programming software.

hope this helps you
