• 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 can find them while searching the RR database but when I look for them to program going though PPS I cannot find them in the RR search. It will only let me do counties and cities, not the whole state. California Highway Patrol doesn't show up in city or county searches that I can see.

There is a category for "Statewide" in the PPS database, as well as individual counties, however I spent ten to 15 minutes looking through everything in California and agree with you, I can not find it either.

Thanks, I thought I was just dumb. Yeah, I finally found "statewide" after I posted but nope, not in there.

I'm everywhere Focker!
Just tried to find my state DPS (which has an extensive VHF network) and it doesn't exist. So I'd guess ANY statewide entity won't be included.

I suspect they are supposed to be under that "Statewide" category, but the several states I checked have nothing there.

Found it! Choose California, but leave the county blank, then it's under "Agencies".


Oh cool. Thank you! Mine won't let me leave the county blank unless I search somewhere else with it blank first then go back to California, otherwise it saves the last county searched in that state. I think that should be under "statewide". thanks again👍🏼
