• 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.

We now have a wiki for these radios

They will do DMR Conventional but NOT DMR Trunking. That would require licensing fees for the trunking protocols to Motorola.
If someone can make that change.

Pros and cons are important for people like me who are debating whether to purchase one or not. There’s no need to take a righteous attitude about it.

I wouldn’t think you’d have to specifically put “Cons as opposed to a consumer grade scanner or public safety grade transmitting radio.”

I appreciate the info and opinions without semantics.

Is there any chance someone knows if theres a multi-protocol decoding on 1 knob position? Im looking to decode 2 tone & mdc1200 on the same knob position for g5 vhf analog freqs during normal scan. Any help would be great.
Late to reply, but sadly this is not possible. Unication tells me they are working on it for a future software update, but I've been hearing that for months. There's no ETA.

Sorry for the late entry here, but this would be talking about Motorola MotoTrbo ConnectPlus/Capacity Plus trunking, which is proprietary. DMR tier III trunking is an open protocol created by ETSI. Anyone can make radios for that if they apply and can meet the standards.
Please don't call the Moto formats DMR trunking. They are not.
