• 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.

I am looking for information on the MDX mobile radio.

Can the radio be upgraded from the N model to the R model ?
(I need Edacs wide with about 8 systems and a total of 230 talkgroups)

I am assuming that the N model will do it if it is upgraded ?

N Dual Format 16 Grp/Sys
P 128 Grp/Sys
R 625 Grp/Sys

Secondly ... can a person just call Macom and get the latest files for this radio ? Does anyone know if there is a charge for this.

My radio is new ... but I dont know what it has in it for dsp / flash etc.

As well does anyone know if it is possible to download the owners manual for the MDX as I dont have the radio yet for a few weeks and want to study up on it before it arrives. Or if someone has it in pdf could they possibly send it to me ?

Any help would be appreciated.

yes what you want is doable but is not available to the public its all a part of the feature encription all the radios out there by m/a com or com net and so on have the ability to do everythin just depends if its activated at the factory or not
2 im not sure on this but im sure there is a hefty charge for it
3 if youdont have a ver. of programmer than you can go through the on screen displays to find out whats in the radio (i dont have on here so i cant tell you the steps)
4 you can try http://www.macom.com/ but i think the mdx had been discontinued
