• 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.

St.Albert, AB contact please

Hello new to the list. Back from Australia after 2 yrs absence. Have a UBC780XLT and a UBC245XLT and wish to download a BC780 programmed for Edmonton and Area. I use the ARC780 Butel, only one to work well for me. I know the UBC and BC are slightly different bur I can force some of the differences by using the ARC780 software. I am pretty sure it should download perfectly so as I can manipulate it from there. The 800MHz steps are the same and that should give me a good start with the EMS in Edmonton. The RCMP in the area differ in the steps but I can manipulate them when using the ARC780 to program and then upload.

What I need is a contact in St.Albert or Edmonton so as I can chinwag, have an eyeball contact and share some tricks.

Thanks

Bob
