• 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 a Motorola XPR6550 UHF HT… 450-512Mhz. Hex edited the frequency range for 403-470mhz. Programmed all my local DMR repeaters in their own zones…

However… when I go to transmit the radio makes the sound it makes on an empty channel. Beeeep.
I programmed another zone of the UHF DMR simplex frequencies I use and it works I can transmit.

I turn on my anytone 878 with firmware 3.02(latest). Make sure the two radios can talk to each other on simplex… all perfect.

Bring up all the same DMR repeaters on the anytone, I can talk to them no issues at all, I can’t even receive anything on the repeater output frequencies on the 6550 even after kerchunking on the 878. But on simplex the radios talk to each other??

Am I missing something in the CPS….
Version 16.0 build 828

Do you have RAS enabled on any of the repeater channels? Make sure that is disabled (assuming your ham stuff doesn't use it).

This radio does not have RAS. Just checked, it’s not in the drop down menu even with expert view enabled
