• 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.

I'm trying to program an APX1500 (legitimately) but overlooking something that is causing it to power up and try to send an emergency indication. I'm looking all over but not seeing what the heck it is. Any ideas where to look in the codeplug? The last one fired up fine. We are not using any DEKs or any other outboard accessories. There is nothing on the 26 pin connector.

On the spectra radios the emergency alarm pins are normally closed, so require a jumper in place at the accessory plug to defeat it.

Yep but this one is really confusing me because we have another that powers up fine with no accessories either and it doesn't do it. I was hoping to avoid having to comb through the programming of each looking for the discrepancy.

The installation manual specifically requires a jumper from one pin to ground on the 26 pin connector, and describes exactly your problem if you do not. Try that first, then compare emergency options and VIP programming with the other radio once it boots up.
