• 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.

Is Motorola purposely withholding pre-2.10 TRBO firmware

I've got several XPR7000e portables on R02.09 and one unit on R02.06. I'm trying to upgrade it to R02.09 because there appear to be some improved volume settings.

I've worked with MOL and they had to make a change to my account to fix the fact that firmware wasn't showing up. Now I've got a huge list of firmware available. However, for subscriber units, I only see R02.10 and later. I see R02.09 for repeaters and such but not for portable radios.

Is there a reason Motorola is preventing me from obtaining this firmware?

And they want to benefit themselves with subscription based programming/features.

2.09 is no longer supported, therefore no longer offered. You should have archived all your software as it is uploaded from MOL.
