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.

I have had both. prefer the EVX. More economical. Better receive audio quality. Batteries more economical also.
Just my 2 cents.

VXD-720 has been disco'd, so it's kind of a moot point. It was really just a bridge product while the EVX series was being developed. You can do a quick search of this forum to learn more.
I use both VXD, and Mototrbo XPR 6350 in one facility, over 250 units. I've had lots of issues with channel selectors and volume power knob failures. I've probably had 20% go back for repair. We really don't utilize any of the advance keypad/display features on the VXD. Had there been a more basic VXD model available, we'd have gone that route.
I've got a smaller fleet (about 30 units) of EVX 531s in another facility. Had them in place less than six months, but initial results have been very good. No failures of any sort, but to be fair, they operate in a less demanding environment than my VXD/XPR fleet. As warranties expire on the VXD/XPR fleet, we may migrate to the EVX across the board.
