• 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.

To activate DMR on a radio do I have to buy a license? I have a new old stock 5800 it had firmware version 1.? I updated to 2.10. Read radio info turned on dmr and dmr conventional. but when I try to write to the radio an error comes up. Since the following functions are not activated in this transceiver, data can't be written, "DMR Conventional" It then says to write the configuration activate this function using kpt-300lmc. So i tried useing the KPT-300lmc to see what was on the radio but that software say I need an account registration key. I guess I have to get that from my dealer where I bought the software. Not sure why I didn't get that key also when I got the license for kpg-d1n. So just want to make sure sure is dmr free or do I have to buy it. and do I go through a dealer for the registration key.

Thanks for any info.

It's very reasonable. Also, make sure that you got the wide band version of the software if you're using it for analog ham repeaters. Very important!
