• 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.

Here's a brain scratcher...The old Advanced Sys Key dongle expired...got new one from System Adm.....when I plugged into my laptop, it asked for the password...entered it and it loaded ok (I THOUGHT).....BUT next time I tried to open it with a APX on the bench, it says Import System keys failed....mmmm ok, get a replacement dongle....
Same thing!!! Yet plug it into another PC and it reads ok!! My Dell laptop reports it as an Unknown Device with no drivers loaded!! HUH??? What could have happened here? I have tried cleaning it out of the registry but that didn't fix it...the local System admin has no idea what is happening....nothing else on my laptop is acting up....the company IT folks maintain updates....I am at a total loss...any ideas??

TIA
Chris

seems to me I remember a windows update that fubar'ed this.... definitely try reloading the CPS. It reinstalls the 1 wire driver among other things.

And make sure u are not plugging in to a USB 3 port. its extremely finicky with USB3 ports and Motorola.

Could have been the Windows Update that did it....(wouldn't be the first time I've seen that happen)....Yeah figured USB3 would not be soo good....in fact not sure if my work laptop has one...I know my personal HP does...
