• 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 ordered CPS for Astro25 Mobile, and it said it was backordered until April as well.

However, I did get it Friday in the mail! Online it is marked as shipped, yet still says available in April.

FYI these later editions of CPS will not allow the god old wideband settings. Stick with versions prior to late December.

I was told that they are NOT selling any but the lastest verison which is 8.5.

I did receive it on line from them yesterday and the disc will arrive when it becomes available.

Thanks to those of you who helped me in this endeavor.

Astro25 CPS R19 still allows wideband unless you have the narrowband flashcode in your radio.

R8.5 of the TRBO CPS does force narrowband. The only way to program wideband channels is with an EID.
