• 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.

Hello, I have the Motorola XTS5000 Model 2 Device that I purchased recently from a private seller so it's a used one. The right yellow button isn't responding when I press it. It is pressable and makes a sound when I press it but other than that nothing changes in the screen. The seller didn't mention any technical problems that the device has also he is not very knowledgeable about it. So I'm wondering if it's a technical problem within the system or the button itself or maybe I'm just using it the wrong way. Is it possible maybe the device is locked by a password? I attached a picture so you can see.

Entirely possible it is not programmed for any function, or a function that doesn't apply with the current channel/zone.

Do you have programming software/cable that you can use to read the radio and check to see what that button is programmed for?

Edit didnt see the circle, That button is for a data function. i doubt you'll have a use for it
The user manual identifies it as the app button TMS feature. Unless you are linking to a system with a phone/Text message patch, you don't need it
