XG-100P programming help

[KJ4SKP]

I've got an XG-100P that I would like to add some functionality to by adding some local PD, FD P25 + some UHF/VHF frequencies. I had an version of RPM on an old laptop that crashed so I lost my mission plans on that computer. Long story short, I no longer have programing software and am wondering if there is a member that provides programming service for a fee? Let me be clear I am not attempting to hijack/pirate programming software.

Radioman96p71can you help?​

I spoke w/ a Harris dealer local to me about help w/ programming some new receive only trunked PD/FD frequencies to scan. She said "that can't be done on your radio". When I told her I already had PD on the radio she was very shocked and told me that was illegal and that nobody would be able to add additional PD trunked to my radio. She said nobody will "legally" be able to do that. She then told me to be grateful that those were on the radio. Isn't that what a scanner basically does with trunked frequencies?

Technically, she’s correct. You are either using an illegitimate copy of RPM or the legitimate copy you bought has been altered to not require a system key to program trunked systems. The only transceiver manufacturer that allows for RX only with no system key is BK.

You don't need a systems key if you are just doing the xg100p in non-affiliate scanning of trunk system. If that was true then I wouldn't be able to listen to Fairfax, Prince William, Va State, DC, or any other systems I have on mine.

Affiliated or non-affiliated to do it the legit way you need the correct RPM licenses. You're probably using the cracked version of RPM that is unrestricted.

This demonstrates how ubiquitous the cracked version is… if you have a copy that didn’t come from a dealer or through your TechLink account, it’s cracked… @kg4icg how much did you pay for your copy and what dealer did you purchase through? You absolutely need a system key when using Harris supplied software, whether you’re affiliated or not…

Well... kinda. You need an AAC key after RPM10. Before that, trunking was a free for all yet you still needed a licensed copy of RPM.

And I definitely would not be going into any radio shop asking for my local public safety agencies to be programmed in, or telling them that you already have them. That most definitely wouldn't be warmly received. Any radio shop worth it's salt knows people are listening, but they don't want people pointing it out to them or asking them for help. That's a good way to push the encryption agenda unfortunately.

You are going to need to get RPM software. I'm not sure on the FW version on your radio, but you may be able to purchase RPM10. RPM14 you will need the AAC key.
