• 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.

For such a nice looking radio there seems to be astonishingly little info on these. Anyone here got one or have any knowledge ?
I ordered one for ****s&giggles even though I know it's a CCR. They know how to get you on looks..

I don't get the lack of activity with this radio.. no reviews, no nothing.

Here's the review I put on Amazon:

Really nice looking radio, big enough for my large hands, receive audio fidelity is good.

Bizarre channel arrangement: each position (A & B) cannot switch between each other, iow a freq programmed into A group can't be swapped into B. If you want to monitor (e.g.) police and fire under dual watch, you have to program police under A and fire under B. So if you want to *scan* both you'd also have to program fire into A group so you can scan it. A has its own scanlist as does B. Very, very weird. The CPS in this area is confusing.

The dealbreaker is the abysmal squelch sensitivity. Even set on 1, it takes a too-strong signal to break squelch, meaning weaker but totally readable signals won't be heard. Death sentence, returning radio to try another.

Well, if anyone cares, the replacement radio works fine, squelch sens is passable now. So it goes with CCR's.
Keeper now.

Hi,
How has your experience with the radio been so far? Would you recommend buying it?

Nope, squelch sens is still ng
Some of these have secret/alternate menues where you can set stuff like RF gain, AGC, and squelch sensitivity etc.
Info should be in user guides.

Not this one... the RT-880 does have this and I'd highly recommend it over this one.

Agreed. Even the RT-860 would be a better choice.

That's one of the problem with a re-badging company. If you have different builders, you're liable to wind up with vastly different quality and architecture. Still, you can find some jewels like the RT-860 and RT-880.

I picture a gigafactory all under one roof that turns out all CCR's, acres and acres.
