• 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.

I have a dealer programmed 3061 which I need to modify a few channels on. I have the software and USB cable and can get info from the radio; serial number, firmware, options installed using the software and cable, but I can't read the programming from the radio to modify it.

Any ideas?

Your master site
Moved. The ICOM Receivers forum is for topics related to devices which receive only.

Is your cable installed correctly?

What version of the software do you have?

What is the model number of your radio?

If you are trying to read the radio using the newer software for 5061/3061 it will not work as it is for the 3161.

Isn't there an option in the programming where you can set it to where you cannot read the existing memory? This makes it "secure" where you cannot read the memory of the radio and modify it. You can only overwrite it with a new file and such.

Not sure if this is it, but I am pretty sure that is an option.

There is an option for that and that appears to be the issue. Thanks.

Now I am not exactly sure, but aren't you supposed to read the radio first, and then edit channels? I heard that if you just create a new file in the software it will put incorrect values into the radio. When you read it, it reads "non-user editable" values and then you can edit that file.

But in lock mode, how could he do that? Can he do the "reserve" hack in the software to read values not normal read/changed or something?

Just wondering. i do not own an Icom Radio, but have looked into it. Just curious on the making a new file thing which could mess up the radio. I don't want him to do that!

If the data out feature is disabled, you can just write a new file to the radio. Presumably you know what you want in it, so go ahead and make your new file and write it.

Common problem. Hold down P0 while turning on. Then do READ or WRITE in the software. Should get you up and going.

I have F-3061 issue with a flashing display after a write. No transmit or receive but the info in the program is correct. How do I recover or reset?
I have written to this radio many times with no issues.
