• 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.

XTL/XTS5000 XTL5000 O5 head - what's the (apparent) micro SD clip for on the back of the PCB?

rebuilding a completely annhiliated O5 head to at least be servicable and took apart the component to remove coffee from behind LCD screen. Never had one apart before, and I saw what is apparently a molex branded micro SD connector underneath the LCD flex assembly & plug.

Been thru the commonly available online XTL head installations & guides, don't see anything that specifically addresses components to this level - or what it's purpose is for.

Anyone have a hint or a direction I should start looking?

All kidding aside, it would've been nice with the portables back in the day if you could load a huge UCL onto a microSD card. I know they expanded the UCL a few years ago to 5,000/8,000/12,500 depending on the model, but prior to that a 6000AN was limited to just 1,500 entries, for example.
