• 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 everyone. I have a minitor 5 pager that i got from ebay. Got a new battery (not oem)off ebay too. Couldnt find an oem battery. It is 650mah.
I charged it twice out of pager and it gets a green light within 5 mins. Is this normal of how fast it charges? It lasts 2 days and 1 night on a full charge. Im just making sure.

I think you answered your own question here...
Depends how much you use it but I get a day or 2 out of my OEM battery and takes maybe an hour to charge after a 12 hour shift

Ok. So from 1 bar to a full 3 bars it should take an hour to charge on the charger? I keep it powered off though.

Your battery is different than my battery and same with your consumption. Your mileage will vary. Doesn't seem like you are having any problems with it considering you are getting more than an hour before it dies
