• 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.

Can somone give me a guiding hand on how to add a feature license to an NX3220 please?

I've sucessfully added and authenticated the .jkefs license for the KPG-D3 software, its all working fine.

When I then try and drag and drop the .jkefr file into the KPG-D3 software software pane in the same way, it either isnt having it or doesn't do anything. What am i doing wrong please? Do I need an Account Registration Key (.jkefa) to do this? If so how do I get one?

TIA.

Yes, you need an account registration key. You can get them from your dealer, should be a low/no cost item.

Thanks guys, always appreciated. Anyone know if there is any time limit from receiving the .jkefr file to activating it on the radio? I seem to have very slow service from my dealer, it's taken nearly two weeks simply to get the key.
