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.

thanks. I figured as much. but everytime i looked online it said that the part number was discontinued.
it's not expensive in relative terms, and you get the firmware as well, I haven't seen the need to update to the latest though
and depending on what you want to use it for you may need to watch a presentation to get certain band features enabled, Motorola was actually very good to work with

Awesome thank you for your help.
There hasn't been a firmware release for the Gen 1 radios (4500/6500 etc) for at least a couple years now. They have long since been discontinued. R1.12.17 was the final release.

If you're going to want to program Analog channels for Amateur frequencies you *will* need the 25KHz Entitlement. Good news is it's free. Bad news is it's a royal PITA to get. Patience is called for. There are several sites that have info on the process including here on RR.
Important Tip: When you finally get the approval to order, don't order just one. Order several.

The mobiles and the portables use different firmware files (although the revision levels are often the same).
All MotoTRBO radios use the same CPS software.
