• 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.

DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP PROGRAMMING YOUR RADIO. NO.
I'm noting the following things about my P7300:

On reception of a signal, every transmission opens with an audible click. Annoying.

Sensitivity in EDACS mode is substandard compared to any P7100 I have. It's running about 6 db short,
at an educated guess. I'm running the high gain whip antenna, which is a 3 dB gain improvement over the standard 1/4 wave whip according to the radio's own RSSI display, but that's not enough to make the
P7300 receive as well as a P7100 with the 1/4 wave whip.

The recovered audio is often full of chirping noises, which happens when signal strength is fairly low,
but at the same level my P7100s are still crystal clear.

An audio "bounce" at the start of a transmission. A rapid change in voice level at the first syllable,
which I suspect is an audio AGC issue.

In truth I like the P7300 but it just does NOT have the receiver performance of the P7100.

Does anyone know of any fixes for any of these issues?
