• 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.

Motorola cp200 has steady static (depending on where I am) and static stops momentarily when I hold the antenna. I’m looking for answers on how to fix this as it’s driving me up a wall wile I’m at work, and my company will not replace bc communication works fine.

The radio probably doesn't have a receive PL and is receiving interference from something around you

The radio is operating on business frequencies? It's pretty unlikely that it's intentionally programmed without PL or DPL. Do other radios have the same problem, or is it just your radio? Did it just start happening one day or did it always do that?

Management is sometimes short-sighted enough not to realize that, when people have radios that annoy them in some way, they do their job less efficiently, or they turn off or even damage their radios to force them to be fixed/replaced, which is a lot more expensive. :rolleyes:
