• 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.

Depends what you do I guess. I've done a lot of bad things to Harris radios and never had to send one back.

That being said... Loading the wrong firmware to the newer 64bit M7300s... That's fatal.

I think you can wipe the ECP clean through command line? I've done it with OTP at least. It's been quite a while.

If you can get in thru hypertherminal there is hope.

19200,8,N,1 I believe. Power it up while connected and see if you get any activity.

Maby I just got a messed up radio..But I have had no problem with the 7 radios I done today

I can Not believe That a harris radio can not communicate some kind of way...what would shut a radio down for a mistake in a firmware change and it cost 950 dollars to fix it...Doa on this 1 ..lol Thanks

I thought it blew f301 fuse ..its ok..otherwise I assume its dead

Try the keypress/power up trick to force it into burnapp on bootup? It's really been a few years since I last bricked an XG radio. I'm more fluent on how to hose up and recover a new XL radio these days.
