• 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.

Does anyone know how to build a clone cable (Kenwood KPG-CLN-RJ45)? I have been trying to find the cable specifications without success. I have the cables and tools, but don't know the pinouts. I found one for sale for $156 and that's not an option.

This publication, (Link below) from this same forum, could help you friend, it seems to be simple, make that cloning cable! Kenwood has been using the same connector for many years, with the same points on the connectors between the 8-point connector and the 6-point connector!

As per the article, I pulled back the sleeve on my microphone and it sure enough has an RJ-45 on both ends of the microphone cable.
Yes, and the article refers to the connection points, precisely to an 8-point RJ-45 cable, follow the instructions and you will be able to make the clone cable!

Greetings
