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.
EMERGENCY BUTTON CHANGE

It should be under programmable keypad (or something similar). You can map the physical emergency button to another function.
Ya. Emergency on the mobile radios can easily be assigned as @rjschilder mentioned. Same with many of the older handhelds, but changing the XG100P emergency button to anything other than emergency or nothing, requires a tweak to RPM in the form of a properly placed DLL file.

I didn't know that about the 100p! Learn something every day.
THATS THE FILE IT WAS .DLL FILE ANYONE HAVE THIS SAID DLL FILE THAT THEY COULD POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF ?
I would be interested in that file also. PM me please
I note that the XL portables the emergency button can only be assigned to emergency or no function. I'd like to have more options than that as emergency is not a function I have any use for.
I've made that suggestion to Harris TAC and the sales people several times over the last seven years.... no luck.
You would think Harris would make the edit in RPM to do it. I would say its not a hard thing to do.
