• 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.

Hallo, gibt es eine Möglichkeit, den Frequenzbereich eines TK-790H zu erweitern? Das Gerät muss ab 144 MHz arbeiten, um für Amateurfunkzwecke genutzt werden zu können. Ich suche nach einer Hardware- oder Softwaremodifikation.
Danke.

The software should handle below 148mhz freq. It will show error however accept them. The hardware section will need to be retuned to work below 148.

Most I have encountered seems tight in receive for below 148. Once adjusted it will be spot on but you loose a little up in the 170 range.

The only x90 mobiles I've had to adjust for ham purposes were an 890 that lost lock below 445 MHz, and a 690H that I converted to 6m which required inserting brass slugs into the RX and TX VCO coils.
