• 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 downloaded a modified mission plan to my XG-100m with a CH100 head. The only thing modified was the frequency of a 2M simplex channel. After I did the download, the radio comes up on the first channel of the first zone programmed, but the channel selector and the touch screen buttons do nothing. I tried downloading the original mission plan, but the radio doesn't do anything when RPM14 tries to communicate over USB. RPM says "Initializing" and then goes away. When I try to use the serial port on the radio, RPM can't communicate with the radio and tells me to check the port settings and wiring. I have tried using a null modem on the serial cable as well with no luck.

The power switch when turned off takes a good 10 seconds to turn off the radio. I have tried unplugging the radio from the power supply for a couple of hours, and no luck with that either.

Does anyone know of a way to force a radio reboot, or a radio reset to factory settings?

Thanks,

Jerry
