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.

They are excellent radios, provided there is no tampering to the internals. An EMS service I used to work for had a UHF VX4207 as a base station, and had an MDC encoding chip installed. It was in the shop numerous times, and was eventually replaced by our radio shop with a Kenwood TK8180.
As for an unmolested one, we also had VX4204 VHF's in the ambulances, and they work phenomenally.

I have a 4200 and in bothe the old wide band and now in the new narrow band I have had no problems.
Audio is just fine, loud as you want and clear, transmit is also just fine.

I tried to find a 12.5/25 kHz choice listed for the 4200 but the Vertex so-called "specs" don't show anything at all. If they're still selling the 4200 in the US market it's almost certain that the radio will do NFM and WFM.

They do the standard 25/20/12.5khz.

Our disaster relief organization has approx 100 of the VX-4204 VHF mobiles and have been in narrowband mode since 2006. We bought 30 brand new in 2011. The oldest ones from 2005 are still working fine. We love these model radios, public safety grade, excellent audio quality, rugged & super reliable.
We also have about 5 of the VX-7200 P25 digital VHF mobiles and love them too. The VX-7200 is same as VX-4204, but digital insides.
