Does any one know what it would cost for me just to get my own software and programming cord I've done plenty of radios before but have been all free software that people have sent me once I bought the radios from them
KPG-D6NK NX-1x00 series programming software list price is $104.00
KPT-300LMC software license authentication software <free>
KPG-22UM USB - two pin programming cable list price $162.00
There's no way around the cost of the programming software. That is -list- price though, so with some haggling you should be able to drop that price down a bit. Under state contracts, there's usually a certain percentage off the top, but as an individual, you won't qualify for those.
The KPT-300LMC is free and is required to register the software. Don't let a dealer charge you for that. You'll also need the directions on how to activate the software, the dealer can provide that.
The KPG-22UM is a nice cable, but you can find after market ones cheaper.
The software is similar to earlier versions, and no where as hard to learn as KPG-D3N or KPG-D1N. It's very similar to KPG-111 and the older type windows software.
