I know u are supposed to contact Motorola Solutions but unfortunatly, the 1000 is too old and they no longer have the software (rss) available, So, per their advice, they advise me to go online and try to find someone who has a copy of the software. I have a Motorola Solutions business account but again they could not supply me with the RSS software. I do have the 1250, but if anybody out there has an extra copy of the ht1000 software, or knows how to get a hold of one or download one, please let me know. I need to get 2 HT 1000 radios program right away. I have bought the rib, and am trying to find a dos computer, so all I need is the software. I did go to a website that somebody recommended called ham files and downloaded the software onto a flash drive, but since I do not have a dos system, I am unable to try that software yet. if anybody out there has the software and is willing to part with it, please contact me at firemedic78@msn.com. I am NOT trying to violate any stickys to this forum, I did exactly what the sticky note said to do, Motorola Solutions no longer sells or makes a download available for the software for this model of radio, and since I do have a business account, I was able to speak to somebody and again their advice was to try a radio based forum and see if I could find it there. So I would appreciate any moderator not deleting this, since again, I did try to do what you said to do to begin with by contacting Motorola Solutions and giving them my business account information, and it was their advice to post this because they no longer deal with that model of radio. They don't even have or make parts for it anymore. Basically, even though it is still used out in the field here and there, obsolete to them. also, if anybody has a cheap dos computer, preferably a laptop, that they would like to get rid of fairly cheap and works, I would be interested in that as well. Thank you in advance.
