• 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/Vertex VX-P949

Do you have photos of the case for this?

Also, do you have a list of frequencies that will not be encrypted? As from what I can see from the display, all precincts will be encrypted.

Also, what boro are you in? I know they started issuing these to Brooklyn North Commands first.

Can you take a picture of the antenna? Doesn’t look OEM to me at first glance.

Don’t have photos of the case.
Don’t know what won’t be encrypted. DHS, traffic and AUX still use the old portables.

Yes Brooklyn North is the first to get them.

Don’t have a pic of the antenna. Definitely not OEM.

The Dept is being issued these to patrol. Every channel has a encrypted and unencrypted channel. If I had to guess, the dept will be encrypted within the year, with some unencrypted channels. Leather holsters don’t have any branding. Just the date is was made. If anyone has questions. I can try to answer them.
These are the apx 900s with vertex branding. The vx p949 has a different ptt button and side buttons.

My understanding from my contacts in NYPD is EVERYTHING will be encrypted, due to the false 10-85's 10-13's and the verbal threats over their radio by CCR's that have occured over the last few years. The big thing they are restling with now is how to load 64 AES keys into a radio with only 32 slots.
