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’re designed to be set from the front panel for normal RR use, so it’s probably only available through a GE/Harris dealer.

L3H has nothing to do with them, and the innards are actually JVC Kenwood TK-790 series boards. Will they program with KPG-44Dx? Doubtful.
The software was a Windows based program that ran on Windows 95, 98 or 2000. It required a valid/unused COM port and was available from GE Transportation at the time. Quest took over the line from GE and the 12R Series II radios are no longer manufactured. The replacement radio is the 12R Series 3D and it takes different software. A while back there were several sellers on eBay who were selling the original flavor radios along with the software and a programming cable (nothing more than a standard serial cable).
