• 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 and thank you in advance for the help with the below!

I have recently gotten myself an EFJ 51SL ES. Below is the currently programmed firmware version:

Firmware Version: V 6.8.6

With this is mind, I found myself drowning in information courtesy of the below site:

EF Johnson - W9CR

wiki.w9cr.net wiki.w9cr.net

However, neither the firmware updaters present in the above link have allowed me to update the firmware (which would allow me to use PCC 2.18.06), or the PCC version 2.10.02 (which is the compatible version for firmware 6.8.6) have downloaded successfully.

Basically, I either need to find a way to upgrade the firmware to the 6.16.04 version, or find a download for 2.10.02 PCC that I can successfully download as the w9cr version of both these options have thus far failed me.

Any tips on this would be appreciated and I am hopeful somebody is able to correct a silly mistake I've likely made :)
