• 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.

Hello!

I've recently got my hands on an old but mint DM3601VHF to be used in a private radio system with permission. Unfortunately the mic was missing, I'm suspecting that the previous user upgraded and decided to keep the mic in this case.
I'm looking at getting a brand new mic, from an EMEA reseller.

Problem is that I need the DTMF functionality, so the straight option would be to find a RMN5065 (DM3 keypad mic) which is unfortunately discontinued and is really hard if not impossible to find in EMEA.
The RMN5127 (DM4) is however available but is not officially compatible, altough some sites list it for the DM3xxx series. Navigation functions are irrelevant as the radio control head is close by the intended place of operation so if only DTMF works that would be splendid.

Can anyone help me shed some light on if this could work?
Thanks in advance!

Hej!

DM3601 is Gen1 radio.
RMN5065 would only work on Gen1 radios.
RMN5127 will work on both Gen2 and Gen1 radios.
