• 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.

Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a 5100 radio with the following code: 242-5113-310-B12 (or BI2). I would like to check if this is a VHF Radio that supports Analog and P25. FPP would also be great.

BTW, The Firmware version is 2.8.15

Thanks,
John, KB9YIS

That is a fairly old firmware version. There is a website that will decode the info for you- try
The Radio Information Board • Search[]=16&ch=200 to get started. Without FPP, you will need a cable and the PC Configure software, so don't buy if you want to keep costs down. There are several on eBay right now, but many do not come with even a battery, so check the specs carefully. Adding a battery and charger will increase the cost by at least $50. I have a FPP that I got for about $300 with antenna, battery, and charger, so there are deals out there. Do not be afraid of one without a full keypad if it is a true FPP You might also want to check out an older Astro Saber III. One seller says he includes the software with the package of radio, antenna, new battery, and charger for around $335.
