Has anyone with a nx5000, and the 4000 channel license, maxed out thier radio yet?
If you have maxed it out, do you wish to have more channels above 4,000 ?

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'd love to hear about someone loading more than 4000 legitimate channels in.

Since you asked... Although not officially 'maxed out' I am currently at about roughly 75 to 95 percent full of total channel capacity depending on which deck. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Kenwood add/offer additional channel capacity upgrade options that are greater than the current 4,000 channel upgrade option that they currently offer, a channel upgrade option of 6,000 channels, 8,000 channels, 10,000 channels (or even more) would certainly be nice to see added to the available options list.

So, not stuff you are licensed for, but more as a scanner.

Sorry for the confusion with the "Since you asked" comment, Matt, my reply was directed at Evans. But to answer your question Matt, actually about roughly 70 percent of the channels that are programmed into my NX5000 series radios I am legal to transmit on, the remaining channels are listen only.
My thought would be a 700/800 radio with P25 Phase II trunking and ISSI linked systems and the ability to roam. That would suck up channels pretty fast.
Have you looked over the programming for ISSI systems?
What I have learned is you're loading control channels, and everything else is background stuff.
Dont see a radio doing over 4000 CC and traveling that many systems. Unless federal, but not seeing that either. Shoulder shrug.
No I haven't. I live in an analog bastion.
That was just my WAG in terms of what could actually use up 4000 channels that wasn't a ham, since these radios aren't ham radios.

I probably could max one out with legit data for nearly most the state of NM.
