• 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.

Hi,

I'm here as a 'last resort' as our contacts in SD are presently unavaliable.
We're trying to test our radios (EFJ 5300) that are programmed with base code plugs provided by SD. We have an IFR 2975 (with SN/SZ). I believe we have the IFR info properly set up, but I do not get anything other than an "Out of range" message from the EFJ. I spent some time with Aeroflex on this issue to no avail (so far),

does anyone have any hints or things I can try to get these two devices to talk? We're trying to verifiy proper operation before deploying.

thanks

I cannot help you directly, but I am pretty sure you would not have gotten any "real" help in the South Dakota Forum, so I moved the thread to here in hopes that some of tech guys could give you a hand.

we got things sorted out (kinda)

EFJ and Aeroflex are working on this 'common' problem.

thanks
