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.

Here is a thread that talks about Nexedge: (this is in the Kenwood forum)

It is being used by a company here in Illinois called ABEEP...I scan many of there LTR systems nut the new Nexedge is Provoice and not scannable....
Nexedge is NOT Provioce. Provoice is proprietary digital voice format that belongs solely to M/A-COM. Nexedge is digital voice format primarily designed for business users that was co-sponsored in it's development by Kenwood & ICOM.
The format actualy goes by the name NXDN - Nexedge is just Kenwood's public name for the format (in the same way /\/\ calls IMBE digital 'ASTRO').
Here's a link from my site of what it sounds like...

Scott,
Thanks for the audio sample. Up till this point I have not had a chance to hear NXDN on air. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

LOL, my audio samples are all over the internet now. That's MY voice in that audio clip! I recorded that using a pair of Kenwood NEXEDGE NX-300 UHF portables. The audio out of the receiving portable was fed into my PC's sound card input. What you heard is the real deal.
See, at least I had the common courtesy to credit you as the creator when I added that clip to my site... :lol:
