• 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.

when i put the 2Meter Channels in 20 KHz Bandwidth spacing I get an error saying that it needs the Key and when i look in the software it says that the Wide band with capability is not Registered

it's not Supported any Longer. they have it for the Mototrubo Software. which will not work for the HT1250. with Software. there is always a way. I am just not good enough with Programming to be able to figure out myself on how to either de compile it to view the Source Code. Or know what Registry File it is to edit it. I hoping someone has done that all ready

With my version software, R6.11.10, on my HP Laptop with the XP Operating System, I am able to select any of the three choices of bandwidth without any problem.

You need the second to last release of CPS for the HT series. It will write wideband channels.

Also, you need to use 25kHz not 20kHz. 20kHz is +/- 4Khz deviation.
