• 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.

Question on the Vertex VX-6000. Using the very last PF key (Have no idea how this radio was programmed) which quick touch changes brightness of display, hold button and changes display to Channel 001, 002, etc. Seems like a scan list editor? If not, how do I edit the scan list in this radio w/o the software?
Thanks!!

I take it you do not have the users manual? I do not belive this radio will allow you to edit the scan list with out the program.

Typically the one who programmed it, programmed one of the "PF" button keys to "toggle scan on/off". Now when you (push & hold) that same button key, it will toggle the (per channel) scan on or off.

i.e. you are on Channel 5. You push & hold the scan button, the LCD display will say "SCAN STOP", that means that channel IS in the scan list, it' will scan this channel. If you push & hold it again, it will then say "SCAN SKIP", meaning it will Not scan this channel. and this works on a per channel basis.

unless the one who programmed it disabled the scan set feature (i.e. dealer scan) -vs- user scan (which allows the user to set the scan settings on a per channel basis.
