• 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.

Does or did Kenwood make a Part 90 dual band radio (VHF/UHF) that is both Digital (DMR) & Analog. The kenwood website is pretty difficult to navigate.

Kenwood doesn't have any true "dual band" radios.

Your option for Analog and DMR + Part 90 is to use a NX-5700 VHF and NX-5800 UHF RF deck with a single control head.
Kenwood's entry into the dual band portable is on the EF Johnson product line, but they don't support DMR.

I was afraid of that, but that answers my question. That puts it significantly out of my budget for the time being.

If you can do two separate radios, the NX-3000 line of mobiles is an easier to afford solution. The NX-3K line will do analog and DMR -or- NXDN. They do not make a dual RF deck option, though.
