• 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.

XPR 7550 - Zones disappeared

I was gifted an xpr 7550, and am currently using the CPS 16 828 to program it. I was able to connect to the radio with bluetooth and wireless, as well as the cable that I use for the 6550s that I have. I am a registered user at motorola solutions.

The radio will take programming without issue. I added 4 zones with 23 channels each corresponding to a local repeater system, and now, my zone selector isn't working. This happened once before where the zones disappeared, then, all of a sudden, they reappeared, and I have no idea how.

The radio itself seems to be transmitting and receiving fine, but there is only one long channel list, and it makes it hard to use it that way. If anyone has any idea why this is happening, or what to do about it, I thank you in advance for your help.

I've had many interesting issues come up with the 7550 and other TRBO 2.0 radios. Not a big fan.
