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.

Assuming you're talking about the Motorola trunking system, no. The hex ID is a 4 hex digit code used to identify the system. This is easily decoded from the system's transmission.
The system key is a file used by the RSS or CPS software to allow the radio to be programmed to access that system. This file is a fairly small encrypted file that is only (legally at any rate) given by Motorola to the owner of a trunking system. Any requests for the file by unauthorized folks will be politely refused by Motorola.

That could also stand for a talkgroup hex.
As you may not (or may) know, when talkgroups are programmed into Motorola radios, they are programmed using the hexidecimal version, of its decimal ID.

Not to mention that system IDs in Motorola and P25 trunking are Hex values
