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.
Anyone know of a good cross reference to connect specific radios to Harris/GE/MaCom/Ericsson service manual document numbers ??
Trying to compile such list.
Talking just under 1000 files here.
WOW !! A surprise Christmas present from an old friend has about exactly what I was wanting.
A few large text files copied from Harris own discs, one indexes the documents to titles, another, titles to documents.
Wanting to print this, I can cut 60% wasted paper by reformatting. 1800+ documents so this will keep me busy a while.
Good part is having access to these documents but have a good collection now.
Shiploads of Motorola stuff to boot.
Well, here is my start. Note this dates 2008 so incomplete and may have inaccuracies. (Its big)
Anyone would like to update,,feel free, this is still a work in progress. The next one indexes by document.
Hope this is useful,,73s
