• 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.

Referencing the table in the attached word file, can someone please point out the differences between the 64B-E, 256B-E and non descriptor part of the description? These difference are denoted in the model number with an E, A or X suffix, respectively. How do you tell which configuration your radio has if the radio's tag is missing, or not the original tag.

DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP PROGRAMMING YOUR RADIO. NO.
The difference seems to be the eeprom size. (Not the one that reports 2K in the radio features menu.)

But I have not yet seen any documentation that proves or disproves this.

I'd be happy to add that info to my files for reference, as it is acquired.

I started up a list of confirmed model numbers vs. descriptors a while back, maybe it'll help?
It's around here somewhere...

That's what I was thinking as well, but would like confirmation from someone more knowledgeable about their model number indexing. However, the encryption explanation is the most likely, as M/A-Com breaks down ordering by no encryption, DES or AES.

DING DING! and the winner is.. Thunderknight. 64/256 Bit Encryption (at least thats what it says on new radio boxes)

Other than Model number, if you do a "radio information" in the radiomaint program i believe it will tell you what type you have. Its not a stat i would normally pay attention to.
