• 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 recently purchased several Motorola CM-300D (programmed in analog mode) mobiles to add to our fleet. We already have a number of CM-300 radios purchased over the past several years. Our crews HATE the CM-300D radios - they complain that the audio is not constant, that it "blares", that the transmit does not sounds as "good" as the old radios....

That said, I can't seem to recreate the problem when I'm using one of the radios. Our radio service company has checked the programming, checked them with a service monitor and verified power out and receive.... Everything is functioning as it should be.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have 3 very expensive paperweights sitting on my desk that our crews refuse to use.

You might try turning off Mic AGC. It shows up in general settings when viewed in expert mode. By default it is enabled. Also in channels under transmit, admit Criteria is default channel free. It also only shows up in expert view.

Also make sure your old CM300's are programmed for narrowband operation and if Xpand (compander) is set on the CM300 it needs to be set on the CM300d.
