• 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.

Hello,
So I have been pulling my hair out for some time trying to figure out what the problem is with a few radios I have. I have two VX-7200 radios I recently purchased from our local dealer. The problem I have is when I put the radio in F-M scan with the digital channels are very choppy and impossible to understand. If I put the radio in normal scan I don't notice a problem. We have a large amount of channels we scan and priority scan is very important to us. What makes this so wierd is that if i put the program into some older (one year older at the most) VX-7200 radios i have there is no problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

Interesting. I have little experience on the digital side of the Vertex radios.

When you are in normal scan, are you still sampling a priority channel? If not, that would explain the lack of chopped up audio.

Almost sounds like a firmware change issue. Read the old radio and new radio and compare the firmware versions. That may be a clue.
