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.

Use the arrows to navigate the display menu, if there is no PWR option available there or on a softkey then you will need to assign a softkey or display item in the CPS.
Low is 1 w high is 5 w depending on the radio band that is a softkey that can be programmed. If you want to change or tweak the wattage and try to boost it that has to be done in tuner and that is tricky to do without a service monitor as you can very well burn up the PA if done wrong.

Please do not ask for it here. You'll find a stickied thread at the top of the forum regarding copyrighted software.

If you do get the software, be prepared for a learning curve that is far above the average amateur radio. If you haven't created a code plug using software before, this is not a program to teach you the basics.

I always use position "B" on the A B C switch for low power. Much quicker than having to navigate through the menu.
Both of those will work as long as they have a serial port. I personally use a Thinkpad T61 w/dock and windows vista for everything. I used to use a 2595CDT with win98/2000 before that for programming. Now, if you ever get into Astro25 for XTS5000's and XTS2500's then you will need at least XP, it will not install under 98
