• 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.

TXQ/HJT/etc. G63 Radio Handheld User Manual Requested/Assistance Needed

Hi all:

I just picked up four TXQ-style G63 handhelds (they were branded "HJT", but I know they're marketed under "TXQ", "Jianpai", "Wurui", "MiDEL", "Talinphone", etc.), from the local Goodwill. Not a thing wrong with them...in fact, they were still in the plastic wrap in unopened boxes (I paid about $25 for the four I got). Pulled them out, put a charge on them, fired them up, and they all transmit and receive just fine. I was also able to determine the frequencies they use (currently, there are 12 frequencies in these radios) are in the US Amateur 70cm (440MHz) band, so I'm legally transmitting on those bands. I'll eventually put them on GMRS/FRS frequencies, once I locate suitable CHIRP software, and a programming cable.

However, there are a couple of difficult problems I've just run into:

1. The user "manuals" (if I can call these single-page leaflets "manuals") text are all in Chinese, and I'm having a heck of a time locating an English translation of these. The TXQ Radio website is less than helpful (found a few JPGs, but those don't help much), and it doesn't appear that they have the proper, correct manual for these radios.

2. The voice menu on the radios is in Chinese. I know, from the TXQ Radio website, that an English voice is available, but, again, with the voice prompts in Chinese, that's FAR less than helpful, as I don't understand what the voice is saying. Also, these are the basic radios, with no fancy menu screen to help me.

Any assistance anyone could provide would be immensely helpful.

Thank you:

Doug Graham, KB7RKY

ps: Attachment is the JPEG I downloaded from the TXQ website. It's not as helpful as I need, but it gave me a place to start
pps: And, yes...the relevant thread I initially went to regarding these types of radios was locked.
