• 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.

Hi!

Wanted to read a customers Astro Saber radios, and got the dreaded "codeplug to new"
:-(
Up to now I even was not aware that something newer than my 04.something does exist - and now Motorola has stopped supporting Astro Saber series, Germany anyway is not the market for P25 stuff, and I am totally stuck :-(

Any ideas what I could do to reprogram those radios?!

Thank you very much for any hint!

Ralph.

Yes, once you register with MOL. Their search engine is a nightmare... Thing is, there are a lot of software packages that don't show up on MOL due to Y2K issues (this is according to the rep I spoke with at MOL). So if you don't see it and want it, give them a call.

RVN4184 is for both the Astro Spectra and the Astro Saber/XTS3000. If you only need the portable CPS, then RVN4182V will do the trick.
