• 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.

Does your APX radio have Bluetooth installed and enabled in the flashcode? Also does the computer your using have bluetooth?

If not, you will need to upgrade your radio to have a bluetooth board or add the bluetooth option to your flash code.

If you do have bluetooth, you will need to do the following:

-Go to Radio Wide or Radio Ergonomics (can't remember which one) and check the box for Bluetooth Enable.

-Go to Radio Ergonomics -- Menu Items -- Then Add the menu item "BT" to both trunking and conventional.
(You will need a USB Programming cable to do these steps if BT is not setup already)

-Now, on your radio menu, scroll over and click BT and scroll down to Devices and click Find... At this point you should also go on your computer and click search for devices in your bluetooth settings.
Once your radio finds your computer, you can click pair and it will ask if the codes match on both screens, click yes.

-Now go to your APX CPS and in the top left bar you will see a drop down that says USB, POP, Bluetooth. Select Bluetooth.

-Assuming you did the pairing correctly, you should be able to read and write via bluetooth.

I just looked at my CPS and it's in Radio Wide.
You may also have to change the Selections to LF MPP & Standard. The default is LF MPP.
