Hello, last summer I purchased a handful of V10MR radios and I love them. We use them for family and for a few other activities within the regulations of MURS usage.
I recently ordered an F1000S as it has the same chassis and accessories at the V10MR and I wanted a radio that could monitor NOAA NWR and receive and decode 2-tone paging and also work hand-in-hand with the existing V10MR on MURS. Yes, I understand the nuisances of type acceptance and am willing to take that risk.
I guess I kind of assumed I’d be able to obtain the programming software for the F1000 in the same manner as the V10MR and use the same cable but this doesn’t seem to be the case. What is the best source for obtaining programming software for the F1000? The shop I ordered it from doesn’t seem to carry it, plus, I don’t have a CDROM drive. Can it be downloaded from any Icom vendor with a purchase? It seems to be elusive. I’m not looking for a handout, willing to pay. Just want to get this squared away before I just return this new radio and call it a loss.
