• 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.

Sorry but this is going to be a tough one. I am looking to see if anyone has one of these charger firmware upgraders that they have and might want to sell.

  1. Motorola RLN5671A (RLN5671) IMPRES Programmer
I can't seem to find one anywhere. I know they do not make them anymore but somebody might have one that they want to part ways with.
Please P/M me

You're probably not gonna find one. Those that have them keep them very tight. You'll be lucky if you can borrow one

I know. Thanks for the update. Trust me when I sold mine it sold fast and worse mistake I have done. Just have to get lucky and find one on Ebay or somewhere when it shows up. Moto makes them for the Impress 2 chargers and are cheap. I didn't realize that my single impress 2 charger only has Firmware version V 1.02 and this firmware version is from 2016 or 2017 per the release notes and it was brand new when I got it last year. I bought the unit for the impress 2 chargers moving forward. Just thought maybe I could find one for the older impress chargers but it sounds like everyone holds them tight. I called Motorola yesterday and they had no clue when I talked to the technicians. They went back and forth and had no idea even when I gave them the part number.

If I recall Impres 2 can be updated by software and a USB plug. However I do have one of these that I need to update an Impres charger and can't find the latest software for it...

Well I use Partner Hub since my job involves it so maybe I can find it there. You happen to have the Moto part # by change? I have an Impress older MUC to update with this iFP and I have an Impress 2 MUC I also need to update...

Impres 1 MUCs must be upgraded with the device mentioned in Post #1

Not sure what the part number is but it's in the same place as your CPS/Firmware, should be under "Charger Firmware"

Yeah I saw that. That file is for Impres 2 chargers. I need the file for Impres 1 that I can load into the RLN5671A device I have for Impres 1 MUC's.

Gotcha, your post was a little unclear, hence my confusion

Looking at the M documentation it appears that V1.2.0 supports the Impres chargers

Do you know if after firmware upgrading, the older Impres charger is able to read "D" version batteries?

For anyone who knows how to still acquire an Impres field programmer or for somebody looking to sell, please let me know as I'm interested.
Thanks!

Yes these are hard units to find these days. I wish I never sold mine but sometimes you can find them. They are just expensive and I almost found one ready to go and the seller decided not to sell the impress field programmer unit. The ones for the Impress 2 chargers are cheap and they work beautiful. I just wish I could find the old field programmer unit one day too.

With how rare these units are I’ll probably never sell the one I have.
