• 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 I have a VX-900 with full keypad. I have a cable and software CE39 for programming. The problem I have is I have entered the frequencies, but any time I change a function for the buttons like the top orange button, the top side and the bottom 2. It dosnt download to the radio? I have tried switching them to different combos and it dosnt work. Do I need a new updated software? Do I need to reset the radio? Maybe whoever can help me can send me a private message, Im sure there will be alot of emailing back and fourth. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank You

I used to have two VX900s and I still have the CE39 on this computer so I went there and ran through the switch setting functions to refresh my memory of how it works. Under the common pull down you get to the key function box and you assign the functions you want. You click the OK button at the bottom of the box and that should do the changes. If it doesn't then you've got a problem which could be with the program not being up to date or an internal radio problem.
