I have a wideband XG-100P and it doesn't have 50 or 58, so 50 probably allows some limited WB capability.

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.

Mine don’t either… it definitely applies specifically to OMAP, so I think that means that data applications using the open multimedia application platform are limited to narrowband operation. I believe that 58 applies only to analog voice.

does anyone by any chance have a downgraded firmware file that would work with rpm 1 v10b? i think my firmware is too high for my software. also will firmware downgrade affect my current installed features?
current firmware is,,, 12082-8900-XLPRO02A28

nope, features will not change. Not a bad idea to write down your feature string though, just in case.

anyone familiar with these guys? Programming software for professional radios , Motorola, Harris, Kenwood, Hytera
i got rpm 1 v10b from them couple days back. they were supposed to upgrade me to 14c today after 17 cet for a small upgrade fee.
they have been mia since 3 am this morning.
this is getting frustrating because till i upgrade my rpm or downgrade my radio firmware i am in possession of a 1200 door stop.

Man, I haven’t ever heard of that site. I’d find your regional Harris dealer and ask them, but RPM/RPM2 is not cheap from a dealer. It’s somewhere in the realm of $700, but it does work with pretty much every relevant radio model they make (or made), so if you are into the Harris ecosystem, it’s good value, but if you only plan on owning one radio, not so much…

That's NOT an L3HARRIS dealer. That's a fraud taking "hacked" L3HARRIS programming software from the internet.

i'll just have to wait till the apx series comes down into my affordability.
He's trying to keep buyers from redistributing "hacked" software he acquired. What a fraud lol! It's probably the same individual that tried selling it on ebay with a shady link and the same one trying to sell RPM2 now with a **** laptop thrown in. I'm sure others on here have probably bought RPM from him.

yeah he got me good. i know nothing about harris or their policies or how they setup their dealer stuff but im getting a crash course and not liking what i'm dealing with..
That individual is NOT an L3HARRIS dealer and is violating their policies and most likely some US and international laws.
BTW, Option 50 (OMAP Wideband Diasabled) doesn't apply to the Unity radios, they aren't classified as OMAP. Option 58 (Unity Wideband Disabled) is the one that applies to the Unity radios. Also XLP firmware is not compatible with RPM10. It's only compatible with RPM14 or RPM2. XGPR02A26 is the last "official" firmware compatible with RPM10.

No disrespect, but it’s not a headache if you slow down a bit and find a proper dealer. It’s not cheap, but it’s not difficult either. I found my regional dealer through a Google maps search and by calling around a bit… I still don’t know what region you are in so I can’t help you there.
Also, if you’re gonna buy from the bay, I’d highly recommend buying from rickthompson602t… he ships his radios widebanded, with new firmware, and with a mission plan containing 48 Wideband channels, 48 narrowband channels, and 48 p25 conventional channels, all FPP. You can program right away from the radio, or extract that mission plan into RPM(14) and work from there.
If you’re patient, RPM14 is out there… alternately, XGPR02A26 is probably out there too, but I understand how not having the ability to FPP a mission plan designed for hobbyists makes you impatient! I understand wanting to start using the radio quickly and feel gratified by your purchase, but in your particular case, that’s not possible and I’m sorry for that.
For what it’s worth, I really enjoy the Harris ecosystem, both software and hardware, and actually find RPM14 pretty intuitive. I can program all nine of my Harris radios (six P7100s, one XG100P, and two XG100Ms), spanning 15 years of production, with the same software… Every Kenwood I’ve programmed requires a different software application so I only program Kenwood if I’m getting paid to do so… I find that quite a bit more of a headache.
To each their own. Sorry you aren’t having a good experience…

i bought from "basesurplus" on ebay. i asked him politely to accept a return and he got all upset accusing me of being a parts swapper wasting his time and money etc. despite his listing saying 30 day returns. so i guess i'm stuck till i can drum up 700.00 for a legit copy of 14c and lord only knows how long that will be.
