• 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 recently purchased a 16 channel MTX 9000 I would like an opinion on this radio good and bad. I have not received it yet and know nothing about it and plan on using it for the ham bands.

Good radio, great audio, and big on options.
I have one programmed for AR902 here, and does well. I had to do much hex-editing to get to work there, but once the number crucnhing was done, it was well worth the trip.

I have two MTX9000 B7 models. The first one I got worked great. I then purchased a 2nd
one same model ( B7 ) and it worked great except for talkaround on 927. I had to wait till I could bump into someone with the lab software that would adjust a parameter to make the talkaround work right. There are some good threads on batlabs about this. I am told that the B5 & B7 models work the best.
