• 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.

Just FYI to any and all whom may have migrated to most recent version of APX, there is a Confirmed issue, random codeplug corruption. Motorola Support confirmed the issue and advised there is a forthcoming software release to abate the source code problem. KBA00050213

Use at your own risk, if possible stay a release below until next one comes out.

not surprised. I never use the latest. If you really have to, use the last latest revision of the previous version, both firmware and CPS, of course unless you're forced stuck on the latest

I have also used newest version to modify programming, and do FW updates on quite a few different models of APX, Never an issue until the other day.
Was working on some talkgroup changes on a very large and advanced codeplug and the invalid fields error showed up along with Please Contact Motorola Support.
The usual method of View invalid fields showed nothing wrong. Worked that issue for an hour up to and including restore previous version of CP from the shared drive, same issue happened.
Worked around it with a copy from a week prior, two days later made a change to that CP, and when trying to write to radio same issue happened, Invalid fields (5), Please contact Motorola support.
After speaking to them and creating a case I was made aware of the KB article I referenced above, which they said is an internal KB article and told I could "send them the codeplug for "repair", or wait until the new version is released that resolves the invalid code."

Hope that explains it better. It only happened to three codeplugs so far. They were large, maybe the amount of systems or the size is the underlying trigger?
Only went to newest release of CPS and FW for the Talk Permit Tone which was needed for a special setup. Normally I stay one release behind.

No issues here so far but we're working with a fairly small APX fleet. Most of our infrastructure is Icom now so the APXs tend to be just our personal units. I'll keep my eyes open for issues...

I have been using 30 but was forced to use 31 for a warranty repaired radio. No issues to report, yet. I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep backups of your codeplugs.

I got a radio back from depot and it wants to see 31.0. I was using 29.0 so I went to MyView to update. However, the newest I see on MyView is 30.0. I suppose it could be an issue on my end, but does anyone know if maybe they removed 31.0 off the site until they can fix it? I tried to call today but I think they are all closed for Veteran's Day. Thanks.
