• 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.

Hello, all! Unfortunately, my OEM charger for my APX 7000 just borked. I'm looking to buy another but I'm unsure which third party brands would be reputable in the world of radio chargers. I've been looking into brands like Endura (Power Products Endura EC2MV3-MT19T-D 2 Slot 100-240V AC Charger - Motorola APX 6000, 7000, 8000), which would be excellent as it would allow me to charge my radio as well as my spare battery. Can anyone attest to the quality of Endura products and/or recommend another brand? Thanks for any help. 73.

The Enduras are good, and we have several, but if you care about IMPRES/IMPRES 2 battery gauges/conditioning capability, an OEM IMPRES or IMPRES 2 charger is the best bet for batteries. The Enduras won't harm the batteries, but they don't support IMPRES/IMPRES 2 functionality, and if your IMPRES batteries don't "see" an OEM IMPRES charger, eventually your battery gauge won't display.

Genuine NNTN7079 chargers can be found for around $50. Impres2 chargers are about double that. If price isn't an issue look into the NNTN7593, it's an Impres dual charger
