• 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.

Has anyone had any luck changing modes on the D168? Km having some serious glitchy issues after placing my 878 plug into the 168 .
The first 168 k received was bricked and now this one acting funny. Anyone else having this issue ? Can’t tx on murs and gMRs and I’ve tried changing modes same as 878/578 but not working.

I would pick a different radio other than the 168, Or 878 for that matter.

That radio cannot be legally used on GMRS and MURS as it doesn't have part 95 certification.

You cannot simply copy over codeplugs, it doesn't work that way.

You have to export the sections as a csv file, then import the csv files into the CPS of the receiving radio.

That’s how I got my 878 plug into it …… by export/import .
I figured they had the part 95 by now with 3rd FW update .
