• 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.

I am at a loss while doing some testing.

-RCA RDR2550 to MotoTrbo are working with Arc4 enabled

-RCA RDR2550 to Kenwood NX5300 are working with ARC4 enabled.

-Kenwood NX5300 to RCA RDR2550; just opening up the squelch on the RCA with garbled encrypted audio.

-Kenwood to all MotoTrbo ARC4 are all working.

Thoughts on why RCA is not decoding Kenwood ARC4 key? But the Kenwood is decoding the RCA Arc4 Key? RCA does have the firmware for Arc4

Thank you for your help.

Need to make sure the RCA ARC4 is true ADP, I will get with you in a few, say your email, had meetings this morning.
If Moto decodes fine, then I would thing the RCA would to, unless they are using CKID in which case this would
have to be looked into a little bit more in-depth.

Give me a few and I will hit you back,.

This is being sent up the line to internal tech support to test out. If found to have an issue, this will be passed on to KWD Tech Support for review.
