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.

The radio won't work on amateur frequencies. It is only capable of operating on 89 UHF channelized business frequencies.

They can be programmed with custom frequencies anywhere from 438-470 MHz but it's a big hassle as Motorola has to create the file themselves. I used to work at a full line dealer and occasionally one of our customers (using conventional, analog UHF) would have RDU portables that they wished to use and we couldn't simply do it. Had to send in the request and wait for Motorola to write a custom template that we then cloned in using the stock CPS. I don't know if anyone can request it or if only a dealer can but I'd not bother because any time you wanted to make a change, that would get old fast. Also not sure if they'd be willing to allow wideband or not even though Part 97 is exempt.

don't waste your time with this road apple radio. XTS radios are falling into the same price ranges, CPS is still available (legally), and will do part 97 without any hassle. Much better radio and accessories are cheap and plentiful.
