Alright. Thank you. For now, I got the 450-520 band radio, so that won't do me any good, but for the future, that is helpful...

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.

Actually, Ben, you can put UHF Ham frequencies into the 450-520mhz radios... Just hold down shift in the RSS while typing in the numbers for the frequency (it will show up as punctuation first, but it will then accept it.) I have programmed a few HT1000s in the S split this way, and my MT2000 is an S split that I use on ham frequencies every day with no ill effect.
Just FYI

huh... interesting. Thanks for the tip.
Yep, out of band (within reason) is pretty easy. The HT1000/JT1000/Visar Page scroll down to out of band programming.
I'm not sure where the bottom is but you should be able to get the 440 band no problem.

"Within reason" means a 450-520 Jedi will work OK in the 440-450 Ham band, but don't expect it to play well much below that. GARY N4KVE
