• 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 have the wonderful, supposedly state-of-the-art, Moto Astro Spectra VHF
model D04KKH9PW7AN, serial #624HGR0435. Host sw version 080105; I060409; CntlHd25; FlashCd 599001-001000-0. I have compared this flash code with radio features and all seems OK.
My problem is with programming the new interstitial assignments (e.g., 154.0325 mhz). The RSS will accept them, but the radio will not accept them if I try to write to the radio.
I have been told informally that a replacement of the RF board with the latest revision will correct this problem; however, the price of the new RF board (around $700) makes it imperative that I verify this will indeed correct it. A long conversation with M resulted in "I don't know."
Have any of you successfully dealt with this problem, and, if so, how?

2.5?

This is probably a dumb question, but did you set your TX/RX deviation
to 2.5KHz in the F9/More Options? I ask this because just replacing the RF board, though it may physically have effect, the command board has no
idea it's been changed.
