• 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.

Is there a guide or website that might explain what all the different features of a Motorola radio are?

I know what some of them are …
Q52: Federal Government FPP (front ad programming)
Q806: ASTRO IMBE Digital Operation (digital mode)
QA00570: Primary Band: VHF (band-split is VHF)

but many others are a mystery to me …
QA03399: Enhanced Data Operation
QA00982: Site Selectable Alert
QA01749: Legacy SW System Key Enable
QA01771: Enhancement Level 2
QA03399: Enhanced Data Operation
QA00631: DVRS PSU Activation

Also, do all Motorola radios have these options and they just have to be purchased? If not how does one tell what is present but not enabled vs what is not even possible on a specific radio?
