• 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.

Good Afternoon,

I was updating my radio programming (freqs, not FW or SW) and after it finished I restarted my radio and went to the new zone that I set up. I clicked one zone past it and saw the zone list "ZONE 35", which isn't a zone I have programmed, I only have zones 1-34 and they are all labeled specifically none are ZONE anything. I kept going and it went all the way to "ZONE 250". So apparently it programmed all available zone slots into the radio, even if those zone have no channels within them. It never used to do this and when you hit the end of the list, it would go back to the first zone.

Anyone have this issue and have a way to fix it? I have already tried uploading the programming again, and had the same results. However when i went to re-upload my programming, the radio basically did a hard reset to factory first. No idea why and just continued to re-upload. I did notice that all empty zones are showing a "0" in the number section, when I delete the "0" and just leave it blank, i get the same results as if i left the "0".

Thanks for any guidance,
Spicy

Same thing happens when using the next button in the channels, if it comes upon a blank line it will add Channel 35, channel 36, and so on.

Just delete them and try not to create them accidentally.

Not sure how it happened in Zone, but it's probably similar.

And make sure you have the latest software and firmware: AnyTone 878/878 Plus CPS, Firmware, and Driver Downloads
