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.

hmmm, if one can commit about a week to spending a lot of time just reading the batboards and learning what hardware to use and how to program it correctly, I'd be willing to bet a mildly retarded chimp could program up a trunked system and never get "bricked"......just depends on how much effort you want to put into not wasting your radio.

In light of the original question about Motorola Software, does anyone here know if Thales has the same draconian policy towards its software? And if they are just as proud of it?

And all I did was go & visit Moto this morning and they gave me the latest updates of CPS I needed... oh sorry I forgot- we actually buy radios off them & not just sit around on RR pretending we do. Good grief... the way some of you carry on I wouldn't give you a copy of Solitaire lest you would go and stuff it up... I've found them to be helpful 99.9% of the time but then I have a reason to have the CPS & not just too much time on my hands like some folk.
Cheers,

They may have given you the CPS, but it still was not done legally. An MSS or dealer is not authorized to give away or even sell software. You must go through MOL to legally buy it. It makes no difference how many radios that you've bought from the dealer, you must sign the license agreement electronically via MOL. Someone at that shop did (sign the agreement), so it's their butt on the line, not the guy who gave you the copy.

Well if you want to lecture Motorola Australia (not an agent or a vendor) about who they choose to provide the CPS to, with us having previously signed the licence agreement, then be my guest. It was done with the full knowledge of Motorola's management- and that just demonstrates how common sense IS applied to the supply of software to customers who have made a significant economic committment to their product. It is a partnership that works well for both parties and is why I am a touch cynical when I read the anti-Motorola verbage on here. RR provides a great forum for axe grinding and opposing vendor assassination- mixed in amongst the genuine information.
Cheers,
Richard

I had no idea that you were in Australia. I am not anti-Motorola either. Just pointing out the way the rules are here in the States and what I had to do for my CPS on my MOL account. Good luck.
