• 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.

Hi,
I could use some help/advice.

I have several MCS2000 Version 3 mobile radios. I have DOS MTSX RSS V6.7 and the proper cables. I am able to read the radio completes 17 of 17 blocks and then gives me an error "a newer version..."

I'm a neophite programming these radios. Can someone tell me if:
A: there is a newer version of the DOS software.
B: If no DOS what version of windows will override that error.

I'm sorry if this is a rehash but I am under the gun to get these radios finished and Motorola offers no help since they are not selling the software anymore.

It seems you are trying to program your MCS2000 mobiles with Jedi portable software[MTSX]. You would need MCS2000 CPS software, but I forget the latest version. It's past midnight, & been a long day. GARY N4KVE

Unfortunately not. They're really tight about it and once they NLA software, there's no legal way to obtain it.
