• 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.

Picked up another HT-1250 at a local Hamfest for cheap. It came with a drop in charger, like none I have ever seen. The first pic is the front display. I have NO IDEA what these letters mean. The second picture shows a switch in the back. It has the letters " H/L on it. Anyone know or ever see one of these? I could not find any info on it anywhere. The picture was taken with the radio charging and the switch in the L position.
Switching to the H position, causes the charger to turn on a yellow light on the Y-DI left side! The red light stays on regardless of the position of the rear switch! I'm stumped! Any takers on this one?

It's a China knock off charger.. They are available for everything from Kenwood to Icom to Motorola.. None are actual "Branded" items.. The H/L is High rate Vs. Low Rate (trickle) charge.. THEY ARE NOT VERY RELIABLE so be careful with unattended operation.

I thought so but I was not sure. It's not going to see any more use unless my main charger fails. I used it today just to test it out. It just bugged me that I could not find any pictures or info on it. Thanks a million!
