Disable antivirus. I updated firmware no prob and 1.09 solves a multitude of problems. This radio is growing on me fast. Having 3 vfo's is a treat!

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.
Radtel RT-880

It's what happens in the background afterwards that causes me concerns. If I decide to do it it'll be on a laptop I don't care about that is not connected to my LAN. No way I'd do it otherwise.
Anyway, enough about whether the firmware is infected or not; hopefully it works out for you.
I found an interesting behavior on my 880 that could be alternately good or bad, depending on how you use it.
I generally keep one external antenna at a time hooked up to the 880 (mostly the MLA-30, sometimes a dual-band antenna that gets used for other radios as well). Yesterday, I had both attached and had switched to SW to catch something or other, and when a transmission came in on the transceiver section, it played it through, then switched back to the SW receiver. I think, but I'm not 100% sure, that it's the dual-standby setting under the FM radio.
Depending on how you set it up, it could be very useful to keep an emergency ear out while monitoring HF.

What cropped up with mine is switching to the fm/hf receiver and getting no audio at all. So radio section is dead.
Just using it for local analog PS for now. Do one thing, do it well. The shortwave thing seems gimmicky anyway. I'd give that up to have a real channel selector in place of the second antenna.

I bought RT-880 Updated firmware 1.10 from 25.05 I prescribed the channels. VHF operates on 144-430. I can not make a reception for a HF work Radio reception does not work at HF.... 18 mHz and above. When I click on the radio On the screen but does not show the frequency. Empty and channel number. And the buttons are not active, no button is pressed. Even NOT the noise. What is I doing wrong? Or a backed radio? It is not clear how to make a reset? The instructions are not written
I've read that there isn't a hard reset for the 880, but I don't quite believe that.
Try a re-initialization; under Basic Settings, #34 is initialization. Click ensure. You should see RT-880 along with whatever firmware updates you've loaded. Initialize the RT-880 from the list. Not sure if that will help you, as I'm holding off on any FW updates until I see a stable release.

Just bought iRadio UV98PLUS Premium version from Taobao. And I have temporarily solved a few issues that APRS is successfully sent and displayed at aprs.fi. Now I have a question, did anyone measured the transmitting power for low/mid/high? I measured tha VHF is 4W/4.5W/9.1W and UHF is 4W/7W/8.9W. it seems that high is only 2 times of low, which is 3db difference. Do you have the same results?
Can you limit the scan range when viewing the spectrum scope? Currently mine is set to 104.250 to 204.250 Mhz. I would like to limit the range it is scanning when looing at the spectrum scope. Does anyone know how many frequencies it can scan per second?
