• 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.

Ahh, I see what you are saying now. I didn't think of the radio alias.

Thanks for explaining that...until I got it!

It's not a continuation of the Zone/Channel line, as has been said many times. It is used for radio aliases/IDs but can be used to display your radio alias. Under Radio Wide there's a box where you can click Enable Radio Alias (or something like that) and enter anything up to 12 characters. That's what is displayed on that line.

You can also enable a softkey named MY ID that will allow you to toggle the Alias on and off from the keypad.

Yes, I see that now. Reading this thread on my phone, and I was obviously going right over that detail. Sorry for missing that the first couple of times it was pointed out.

More than 2. It does one line for zone/channel, one line for radio alias, and two lines for menu/navigation/configuration functions.

You can take the little sticker off now. It's okay, you're not gonna break it.

Haha! That's one of my old ebay photos from way back in the day.

Is that a depot sticker?

:D Fantastic!

There's also the Pinwheel hat.

Well, I just bought an XTS5000 800 meg radio, and the second line is displaying XTS5000 800. I cannot figure out where this is coming from. Can someone show me where to kill this in CPS? This is showing on conventional channels.

Thanks. Please don't tell me I need a sombrero sticker!
