• 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.

They probably blindly copied/pasted stuff from a different manual into the O3 manual. You'll find the same in the APX service manuals...lots of contradictory and outdated info, even in the most recent revisions.

And that's in a service manual. Gee, isn't that comforting.

It could be worse. When I was at Sprint (through a "merger of equals", not by choice) the left hand didn't even know the right hand existed some times.

I had no idea you were a fellow Sprint refugee....well I was a Nextel corporate drone until a few months after the merger then went to Nextel Partners in KY for a year. This was during the Condor/Falcon Nextel lines....left after I could see the writing on the wall with iden and Sprint. Still have good memories of Nextel phone modding.

I was there from 1999 to 2009. Nextel was awesome, Sprint was the worse company I ever worked for.

I still remember the levels of RSS: Super Agent, Carrier, Depot, Lab.
So much fun messing with RSS back in the day.
