• 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.

The OEM programming software from TYT is absolutely atrocious to work with...cannot even move channels from one slot to another whenever you add / delete frequencies...I'm not seeing how you can do that without having re-program every single channel to get the order that you want whenever you need or want to make a change in your channel line up.

Is there any after-market software for this radio? RT Systems has already informed me that they don't plan to develop software for this or any other DMR radio

Appreciate any / all feedback

There are some videos on YouTube that you should watch in regards to programming. Give it a try, I guarantee you'll be able to program a radio successfully.

Order is achieved via the Zone list. Channel data can be in any order.

You simply add them to the Digital Contact list as shown below. Note that these should be "Private Call" instead of "Group Call."
