• 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 had a Win10 PC and when I tried to edit my G4 profile, it would throw .NET errors. Installed PPS on a new Win11 PC and everything works so far. I read the profile from my G4, edited it and saved it successfully, and when trying to program it says:

"Programming Failed.:"

Not helpful at all. I created a new blank profile with just a Free Scan knob position. It programs fine. Both profiles use the same model, so what could be the issue here?

Now PPS is crashing again on the new system. I'm frustrated with this software.

Well, now this is lame. I had a couple of knob positions that would alert on certain tones. Editing those caused PPS to crash. I delete those positions and now it programs. *sigh*

I would most likely start with a fresh download/install of .NET Framework 3.5 and then a fresh install of PPS. It hasn't happened to me, just using typical logic for this type of situation. Maybe you have already done this?

Does the software offer the ability to run it in a compatibility mode for an older version of windows? Right click on the launch icon for the program to get into the properties menu and see what choices you have.

Yep it’s all fresh as of today.

What’s strange is it worked fine in Win10 then one day started crashing. I figure it was a .NET update. It only occurs on knob positions with TG alerting enabled.

I will try a compatibility mode next.
