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 recently completed my DMR hotspot project for use with portable operation in my truck. Now I can use both the antenna and the hotspot. When I started down this path I felt like I had to define which of my radios was going to be for home use and which one would be travel. For better of for worse I decided that my 878 would be for home use and 868 for travel. Now I am re-thinking that decision, mostly based on the 878 APRS and Roaming functionality. Of course, after doing some work of creating a travel codeplug for the 868.

I guess I have a few questions.

1) Is it worth the effort to try and make both the 868 and 878 the same? I am happy with my 868 codeplug, I could always "clone" it 868 codeplug ---->878 codeplug

2) I need to update the contact list in any codeplug I build so I would have to import in the CSV, correct?
