RSS ordering

[WQAJ741]

Just recently I was approved to purchase RSS from Motorola. I got a catalog in text format and although it was pretty whacked out, I thought I had found what I was looking for. I went to add it to the cart, and an error came up saying that the product had been deleted...so now my question is, how the heck do I order the software? It's for an ht/jt1000...am I missing something??

Not surprising, as the units you mention have been discontinued for a number of years.

This is most unfortunate, as "M" has discontinued the software on radios that are perfectly good. This board and others support the view that all software should be "legally" obtained from "M". But what does one do when they no longer sell it? You could go to a local 2 way shop & pay them to program the radio. If you are a ham, & want to use the radio on ham freq's, some shops will give you a discount, as you are not using the radio to earn money. This has been my personal experience. All I will really say is there have been plenty of discussions here on how people get their radios programmed when the software is no longer for sale by "M" even though people still want to purchase it. The search box is your friend here. It might help if others here knew where you lived. Someone living 3 blocks away from your house might be reading this, & be willing to help you, but not know you live so close. GARY N4KVE

This software has been out in the wild for a long time along with many other. Google is your friend. I don't think /\/\ cares about this old stuff anymore or it wouldn't be so easy to obtain.
