• 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.

PSA: DO NOT share your code plug here!!!

For anyone new here, DO NOT share your code plug with anyone here. AGAIN DO NOT share your code plug with anyone here you don’t know.

There’s been users here offering to “help” but they are really just turning around and attempting to report you. They are not your friend and will report you faster than you can turn on your radio. Don’t fall prey to the whackers.

LOL. Seems like someone was caught trying to affiliate to a system in which they did not have permission to be on.
FAFO. Makes my heart happy to see folks held accountable for their actions.

There are legit people here that will help you out with programming issues.

There are people here that will likely take all the programming from you radio, clone it to their own, and use it.
There are those that would take the programming out of your radio and share the data to the database.

Gotta use your brain, especially if this is your agency radio. Sharing -any- agency radio data with anyone who is not authorized is probably covered in something you've signed at some point, and would definitely fall under the "Think twice, this may be a career ending event" thing.

NAS, well, you get what you deserve, and we're happy to see it happen.

Thats a shame people are doing this to those seeking assistance. I have no issue with helping someone so they dont make a mistake and register with a system. Yes, you do need to be carful on who you share it with. I know NAS is a touchy subject and Motorola is something you really have to know. Harris and some other SU are not so bad to deal with. The things I cant stand is when someone ask for sys keys or ways to add TG's to an agency radio. Thats a huge no.no.

And let's not forget the FCC can also join in on the fun, if a system admin notices an unauthorized radio trying to affiliate...

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-410850A1.pdf

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) received a complaint from the Stafford County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff) concerning interference to the Stafford County P25 public safety radio communications system (Stafford County System) operating countywide on certain exclusively licensed radio frequencies. In June 2024, Agents from the Columbia, Maryland Field Office of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) conducted an investigation and determined that the source of interference to the Stafford County System was a radio transmitting signals in an attempt to self authenticate and thereby gain access to the Stafford County System. The signals were emanating from a handheld Motorola APX7000 two-way radio that generated a unique identification code and had apparently been illegally programmed to operate on Stafford County System’s licensed frequencies.

The irony of the OP once creating a thread titled "Contact your system admin" cannot be overstated here. If only he had taken some of his own advice along the way.

The real PSA here is Don't run your mouth on one of the most popular radio hobby websites on the Internet. FAFO strikes again!
