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.

Nope. Receive = input, Transmit = output.
Example: Receive 463.175, Transmit 468.175 (MED-08)

ok sounds good
Not to be a complete ass, but if you are programming a radio for public safety use you should really let someone do it who has some idea what they are doing. Even a conventional radio can cause issues to other users if you do not know what you are doing.

I highly recommend that you take the radio to your county's radio shop and have them program it for you. This will cost a bit, but much cheaper than either the software from Motorola (the only legal way to get it) or legal issues from an unauthorized radio. They will have everything required to properly program it as well as will make sure all authorizations are in place.

Not that hard guys.... +5 MHz offset if UHF ... I'm sure he'll be able to figure it out. :lol:
He never said it was UHF but you were never the best with reading :lol:
Plus he did ask so I'd say he didn't know, and that is just the type of person that should not be programming a radio for public safety use.

Yep, not too hard. +5 on this UHF system and you're on the wrong frequency http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2712217. Bay Shore Fire District in Suffolk county NY happens to have been assigned +3 MHz for their license.
