• 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 have a CDM 1550 LS+ that I am trying to program with both commercial Public Safety as well as Ham freqs. The software gives me the FCC 12.5kz notice as soon as it starts programming and I cannot get around it. Any ideas. I have tried both .08 and .09 software.

You need the wideband EID FROM motorola. You get it by taking a short course and test at MOL. Then you purchase the EID and install it in the CPS.

Plenty of previous threads on this here and on the batboard.

You need the 'entitlement' Key for the CPS to have access to good ol narrow, 5Khz deviation.

06.12.05 was the last version that did NOT require an "entitlement" key.
Everything after that will not let you write to the radio. You can program it in the personalities but when you attempt to write, it stops you cold. Got to give it to /\/\ for their infinite wisdom....
