• 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.

with the fpp function enabled and it has the q52 package in the code plug will it do wideband in the radio and if you read it with the astro 25 software will it let you program it in wideband for ham if it has the q52 package in the flashcode?

Yes, as long as you don't have the 12.5 kHz item in the flashcode. For Astro 25 and APX radios, narrowbanding is enforced by the flashcode, not the CPS. Even then, it should still work properly on amateur frequencies as they left those to be wideband.

How would I look for that in the flashcode. Sorry, I am very new to the p25 world for ham

That would be option “Q507 12.5KHz FCC Mandate”

If you post your flash here, we can tell you exactly what options your radio(s) have, including if it’s been messed with(some options do not co-exist together)
