• 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.

Has anyone compiled a list of terminal commands or know os a SRN with such list ?
Highlight is any commands that write to memory. I already know one , 29.
Any other bad, don't do it commands ?
I hate to just blindly send commands not knowing what they do.

CMD 0 - Test mode
CMD 9 0 - shows current TCXO value
CMD 70 《frequency》136000000 changes test freq. Do not enter decimal.
CMD 74 1 - Turns transmitter on.
CMD 74 0 - Turns transmitter off.
CMD 9 《+/- arbitrary number》 changes TCXO to new value, i.e., so if the original TCXO value was 185, CMD 9 10 will move the TCXO value up 10 to 195. CMD 9 -10 would move the value 10 points down.

Is this what you're talking about? We use the above to align the TCXO on mobiles and base stations.

I have those in a TSM, but there are more, mainly looking for receive alignment, front end attenuator, filters and such.
There are also "at xx commands, those I have a suitable list of.
I know there are over a hundred undocumented (?) commands, but it can be dangerous just sending unknown commands to the radio.
Many commands have a format like CMD 9 《+/- arbitrary number》so knowing the right syntax helps.
@ rescue161, you left out CMD 29, writes the new value to the radio.
Been at this for some time, have quite a set of lists, but just don't know what they do.

I wold love to have a Harris disk for the IFR, It no doubt has all the alignment commands.
To my know, only the TCXO adjustment is documented in a TSM.

Here is a list of what I have so far, anyone care to add or correct, please do so:


cmd 0... puts the radio into test mode
cmd 49 Exits test mode (you may need to do a system change to rstore normal operation)
cmd 1..... not implemented
cmd 2 0 display the Weak RSSI value valid ranges from 35 to 100
cmd 2 1 display the Strong RSSI value valid ranges from 139 to 204 (invalid)
cmd 3 0... Wide band
cmd 3 1... Narrow Band
cmd 3 2... ??? (maybe XNB)
cmd 4 1...
cmd 4 0...
cmd 5 0...
cmd 5 1...
cmd 6.....
cmd 6 5...
cmd 9 0... show the current TCXO value (this does a decrement)
cmd 9 x <arbitrary number> changes the TCXO value + - step.
cmd 19....
cmd 20 1..
cmd 21 1..
cmd 27....
cmd 28....
cmd 29 writes TCXO value to memory (cycle power) (Global write data to memory)
cmd 18 1..
cmd 18 0..
cmd 30 Display tracking data
cmd 36....
cmd 38 0..
cmd 38 1..
cmd 43 0 alter tracking data nn vv nn=field vv= value
cmd 82....
cmd 50 <Freq in Hz> Sets RX frequency
cmd 52 1.. vv = set squelch value where vv is 1 for tight (high RF threshold) and up to 159 for loose (low RF threshold). Settings above 159 are not recommended.
cmd 52 2 = check squelch status, if ?PASS 1 is given then squelch is open, if ?PASS 0 then squelch is closed.
cmd 53 2..
cmd 53 1..
cmd 54 0.. Unmute
cmd 54 1.. Mute
cmd 70 <frequency in Hz> sets the TX frequency
cmd 71 aa bb cc sets tracking aa=power level0,1,2 bb=0,normal-1,talkaround
cc= band allocation 0=low 1=mid 2=high (same as 43 above?)
cmd 73 0..
cmd 73 1..
cmd 73 2..
cmd 74 1 turns the transmitter on
cmd 74 0 turns the transmitter off
cmd 75 1..
cmd 75 0..
cmd 80 x increase/decrease output power
cmd 81 display current power adjustment value
cmd 82 1 = reads current power output level as a value that the radio power control loop is currently sensing, and places the value to the TX_PWR_SENSE location in tracking data. (again, cmd 29 needs to be issued to actually write this data) ???
cmd 85 0 sets PA power control loop into open loop mode
cmd 85 1..
cmd 87 4800 data
cmd 87 9600 data
cmd 32 1..
cmd 32 0..
cmd 51 1..
cmd 51 0..
cmd 41 0..
cmd 41 1..
