• 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.

How on earth do you change the button layout on the CH100 touch screen control head?
Seen some photos showing different layouts, now if thats just demo photos from harris or what but cant seem to find how to do it. I dont need a fav button on the home screen, or a talkaround button and so on

The short answer is you can't. You can navigate between 3 different screen layouts using the blue "home" button to the right of the display. The first screen that shows the most buttons will have four rectangles at the bottom. These four rectangles can be used as "direct" channel buttons, A, B, C, & D. Navigate to the channel you want to set for that button. Press and hold the "rectangle" until the radio beeps. You will then see the letter that corresponds to that rectangle. Now it is set as a direct channel. Hope that helps.

Wow.. that sucks.
Will be a big pain in the nuts to do nuisance delete, mute, SL1, SL2, PA, Air Horn, playback.
Seems like a dumb design flaw in the software.

There is a way to set the head in program mode, but I think you need the head programming software to do it.
Let me dig in my archives some more.
