• 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.

Hello I'm new with this program and I followed a video on youtube on how to program it but It seems like some of the options are blocked for me and I don't know why. In the video he doesn't say anything about this so maybe you can help and tell me why. for example in the 2 pictures I'm showing here for him he has "system key" box on. and on the type it says "ASTRO 25" and for me it's just "type 2" and I can't pick the system key box. so I can't also change the other options as he shows in the video.

Video:
Motrola Program
Around 01:00 time mark.

Right at the top of the forum:


Read it. Then you will know.

Buy a scanner or a Unication. It will save you tons of grief and hassle...and possibly legal trouble.
Trust me, this is best. Scanner or Unication.

The existence of "system keys" is to keep unauthorized people like you out. They are not meant to be easy to obtain for reasons.

before you ask.... no we won't disclose how to obtain one. Radio shops will not give you a TRS' key, the system admin of the system you are trying to program won't give it to you. And unless you are an authorized subscriber on that system, the admin sure as hell wont provide authorization for a shop to do it.

also... if your radio doesnt have a proper flashcode to use astro 25 then you wont have that as an option

Are you trying to program a trunking personality or a conventional personality? If you're trying to program a trunking personality do you have permission to communicate on that system and if you do, you should contact the system administrator. The system administrator will need to register the radio unit on the system.

If you don't have permission than you shouldn't be doing what you are trying to do.

Well he linked a "programming non affiliate scan" video so I'm going to take a wild guess and say he's trying to program non affiliate scan
