• 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 just got a motorola xts 3000R and when i turn it on there is a red light at the top that wont stop blinking. I thought that the red light was only suppose to come on when you tansmit to another person. Please tell me if that is natural or can someone please tell me how to stop it and what it means.
Thanks

That red light will blink at a rate of once per second if it is receiving a signal while in the conventional mode. It is possible that it is on a conventional mode receiving some sort of constant signal (e.g. control channel) while looking for a PL/DPL to decode.

OR it could be attempting to affiliate. If it is attempting to affiliate, the red light will blink at more of a random time rather than a consistent rate of once per second.

At any rate, reprogram the radio properly and it will go away. I would recommend leaving the radio off until you can properly reprogram it.
