• 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.

CE49 / VX5500 Squelch Issue

Programmed 2 VHF-C VX5500s. One worked fine. The other one opens the squelch as soon as you take the mic off the hook on all channels. I have tried to adjust the Monitor and Hook settings under Common > Front Panel, disabled Monitor in Misc.... Tried just about every thing I can think of. As soon as you write the data to the radio, the settings seem to revert themselves in the CE49 software. I can't figure it out. Tried reading the codeplug from the good radio and writing it into the other... still does the same thing.

Any thoughts???

Turned out to be something in the program. Took the plug from the good radio, deleted the unnecessary channels, pushed it in and it was fine. Went through and added each extra channel 1 at a time, pushing into the radio each time. Got them all in and no more issues. Very strange. But solved none the less.
