• 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.

update: I've almost built out the codeplug. I have tested parts of it here at the home, and... not impressed. Try to toss it in the work vehicle soon. Been trying to figure out a way to operate with a CB and a dual band antenna at the same time without breaking the bank, just haven't found anything I think will work for me yet.

Update:

I still have not found a way to monitor CB and dual band at the same time. The antenna is the sticking point. I haven't found anything simple and inexpensive to solve it, and so it has been deprioritized. Nice radio, and the factory actually answers my questions as a peon, which is incredible to me. Still haven't been able to slap it onto a service monitor, lack of time. Programming software isn't bad, never tried the CHIRP plugin.

Haven't forgotten, just task saturated and it was a dog project to begin with. I highly doubt my area sees much traveler emergency traffic on CB or GMRS/FRS/MURS, and the other things were just going to be gravy if I could toss them in there.
