• 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.

Does anyone know what the "unprogrammed" message on a G5 might mean?

I bought a G5 this week and successfully programmed a nearby federal simulcast system in it with very little difficulty..

Today, I tried to create a new system in the G5 for a 700 Mhz public safety site. Everything seemed to be fine until I tried to activate it and got a message in the display saying it was "unprogrammed". I'm guessing that message might cover a lot of possibilities, but I thought it might be a good idea to check with more-experienced G5 owners out there.

Thanks!

N6ML is right. You have to turn the knob to where you "created" the talk-groups. It's probably sitting on a different one that's empty. Did it myself the 1st time I set things up. Where'd it go? doh?!! I was on knob 3 instead of 1

Thanks, N6ML and Johnnydollar2!

That's exactly what I did wrong. When I switched from zone 1 to zone 2, I left the knob in position 4.

As soon as I moved the knob to position 1 on the new system, it came back to life.

Duhhhhh . . .

Thanks again!
