• 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.

The actual band splits are anyone's guess. You have to read them with software, test them or open them and cross the internal module numbers to find out.

Likely they are 403-433 or 440-470.

Just some additional info, if you see "USGEID:00000038" on the bottom of the model tag you probably have a low split ex-gov 403-433 Mhz version. That is not always the case, every now and then you get one that has that on the tag that is high split, but that's usually because someone has done a band conversion by replacing the band specific modules in the radio.

That is correct, that number appeared on just about all government issued Saber /System Saber radios. The VHF radios with that UGID seem to be more forgiving about changing the band split than the ones marketed to the civilian sector. I have a VHF SSIII that works from 142-174Mhz no problems.
