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.

These radios cannot be programmed for a passive scan on a trunked system. If you proceed forward you will be transmitting on the trunked system with affiliations.

The EFJ radios, AFAIK, can not be programmed to passively monitor a trunk system. If you program a trunking personality, it WILL try and affiliate.

Hand it to the system administrator and ask them to program it for you.
If you don't know who that is, or are not authorized, eBay the radio and buy a Unication G4/G5.
(That may sound harsh, but it's a serious answer)
We program them with the “scan hack” all the time. You do need a system key to do it.
Scan hack ? Explain ? For example, BK Radio KNG radios can be programmed with a system key that opens up the trunking parameters. However, once you click RX only personality, it darks out any TX info and the radio will not affiliate to the system. On the opposite end, the Kenwood NX series, even if programmed as a RX only personality WILL affiliate with the system.

He's referring to the Non Affiliate method for programming Motorola radios.

Which works GREAT, & can not affiliate if programmed properly.

Look around on the net, some one posted a few years back screen shot of an EFJ key with the system ID circled. I believe it is a text document just like the M version you see over on Batlabs. I don't have it anymore, so no need to ask.
