• 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.

Any help with Chirp allowing Radio Reference to pull in frequencies?

There is a setting in Chirp that allows connection between Radio Reference and Chirp. I am well aware that one did not develop the other, but there has to be some idea on this issue- i found it on a radio reference forum specifically here: Issue with Chirp | Query data source -> RadioReference

my posst earlier that closed without being able to ask an update since there is no other assistance on Chirp once you run the python- which i did with a a correct install. After the install, i still could not access the radio reference data into Chirp- all Chirp says is to install Python, which i did.

So its installed but when i try to go back, i am in a loop. any thoughts?- did anyone else have this issue and did anything work to stop the loop and allow you to download the radio reference data? I have followed the directions https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues. and looked all around the faq and only got the python install message- which i completed successfully. Has anyone else had this problem?

Just wondering if anyone has a solution that worked for them. Please dont kill the post.

thanks

Moved as this is not a Radio Reference database issue. Good luck.

Your issues seem to be with Chirp. I suggest you follow the directions on their website about how to get help.
