• 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.

short and sweet can any one tell me if my Spectra vhf (D43KMA7JA5BK don't know if that helps or not) is zones capable? or tell me how i can find out? on the front face it does not have a zone selector but does have the spot where it would go? don't think it would be that hard to get the buttons for the face..
but with 128 ch zoning would be really helpful...

thanks for the help
David

The model number doesn't necessarily directly indicate whether or not it's capable of zones but it does indicate the 3 button standard head... usually meaning no zones. The only way to tell for sure is by reading the radio with RSS. If the head doesn't have zone buttons, it's likely that the radio isn't capable.

Depending on the firmware on the MLM, you MAY be able to bitbang zones into operation. That would require 6.00 or later firmware, and Lab RSS.
