• 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.

I need some help with my my Motorola XPR6550. I have it programmed for DMR here in Western NC. It will transmit fine but it will
not pass audio on receive. I get a received signal just no audio. I have a Motorola XPR7550 programmed the same way and it
receives the same repeater and talk groups just fine. The Firmware Version on the XPR6550 is R01.05.00, I think that the XPR6550 is
in need of a Firmware Update, but I can not locate any Firmware... Asking for some help in locating the current Firmware, I have
Motorola Solutions account and cant locate anything on there web site... Thanks for any help!

Twellborn,

Where did you acquire the RS01.17.08 firmware from? I am not able to locate it in MOL.

I and a few others got this from Motorola directly, and shared it on our site. Since then it has spread. It is the last version for Gen I portables. You should be good to go with that version.
