• 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.

Does anyone know what the xts 2500 firmware would be called in MOL? Im trying to get several 2500s to not transmit on the system. We aquired these from another dept who upgraded so I am not sure what to do.

Back in 2015, it was on legacy MOL- but sometime during 2016/2017, it was removed and only added if you opened a case. Last version was R20.50.10. You will need an F/W upgrade refresh key to properly upgrade the codeplug in addition to the firmware. Since these are department radios, this should be done properly and not the hacker/whacker method.

Good luck getting support from MSI. I haven't seen Astro 25 CPS on our MyView ever. It is out there, both CPS and firmware. The hard part would be finding that F/W refresh key. What version HOST are your 2500s at now?
