• 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.

MOST ODD thing happen which i have screenshots of, Motorola has serial numbers and software revision numbers,

i ask them if there was any way i get the flash so they all be at same software level , no reply now here when everything gose north,

i taken screen shots all software revision numbers, and other day i notice something odd radio needed to be updated was updated, compeatly.
all the numbers now match other two radios,

now all i have read radios don't update them self, also note i have AES 256 bit hardware encryption working on all radios , i have device can remove the master key
and replace it with same key on each radio, AES 256 now works as well, it is not easiest thing to do on radio, there few settings must match on each radio


but there is a difference in the software, throw all 3 running hardware encryption two radios fetcher for software encryption only is on my question here two part

one dose any one know how i turn off the software encryption only on other two radios,

2ed question is dose anyone might have even smallest clue in how one radio got updated, i check 3 times i check all the radios there is no mistake radio was updated but i got no clue how it happens ,

i have been in computers all my life people who know me will do anything i ask they leave documents on my pc, however i did run in one set files i dont know what it is

Umm, what?

If the radios are already loaded with an AES key that means that software encryption is automatically disabled. It's one or the other.

I assume youre trying to update the firmware in them? Why?

I think it’s kind of obvious that they’re for updating XTS3000’s.
