• 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.

Hi all.Sorry for bad English. I have done a lot of ICOM-s but now I have problem I could not even imagine.Let me explain, unit come in for service with complain that TX does not have power at all-Spectrum analyzer showed only 10mW at antenna terminal but there was all most 1 amp of current consumption. Everything in PA checks good,I have replaced both FET-s but no awail. Old FETs from TX dead unit I have put in another u it-and works just fine.I tested PA board outside unit,driving power has been taken from signal generator,I hook dummy load before antenna switching diode----NO WAY AGAIN...Unit takes the current,but there is no power again.So far,I left the unit a side since I have many unit too fix,but I stii have no idea what possibly could be a problem... Any help and/or constructive advice are very welcome.
