• 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 have a vertex 354 yet? and how hard is it to program it? I've been thinking about programming it myself because the only 2 guys that can program radios within the 11 fire departments where i live can do it. So needless to say they are a little busy.

I have a vx-354 VHF and it is pretty easy to program, took me about 4 times to learn what everything did and get it just like I wanted it, but its a nice radio.

P.s.: Im Vol. Firefighter and sofar iv owned it about a year and its holding up pretty good, I also have the Heavy Duty shoulder Mic and it also holding up good.

p.p.s: Make sure you get at least version 2.01 of the CE86 software, Paging is bugged in the 1.somthing I had befor. Also version 1.xx wont run on vista from what I hear.

Thanks, do you happen to know where I could get cheaper software? The best deal i have found so far is Antenna Farm but I didn't know if there was somewhere else with anything cheaper...

Alignment

Do either of you two know why when I use basic alignment and align the battery level, it makes the radio think the battery is just about dead? How do I fix this? I can not manually change the settings because it's an automatic adjustment. I am useing ver 1 of ce86 and I don't know if I can get ver2 at this time. Thanks.
