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.

No you can not.
Did you put the flashcode into Akardams decoder to see if it is flashed for FPP?
It would have to be flashed with Q52/Q53 by either Motorola, or someone with the right equipment and software.

To allow more features, XTS 5000's require a FLASHport upgrade obtained directly from Motorola. They would require your specific model, serial, and flashcode. Normally feature upgrades are restricted to the original owner of the radio.
R09 firmware was the last to allow option Q52 only for FPP, anything later then that will require both option Q52 & Q53. You CAN NOT program a R09, Q52 only, radio with CPS newer then R09 or you will lose the FPP function on the radio and it cannot be restored.
Hope this helps.

There is a way to roll back to R09 after a newer version has been used. Some reading on P25.ca will show you the way.
