Hello I purchased a Motorola XTS 3000 UHF radio. I need to have quick call II available on the radio. I thought this was standard on the XTS but when i programmed the radio there was no option to do Quick Call II. Is this a firmware option that i need to have changed or is it a flash code that needs to be changed ?

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.

The XTS3000 (and Astro Saber for that matter) does not support QC2 at all.
Ok so does the 2500 or 5000 ? if so what programing software do they use and is that a standard feature or is it built into the flashcode ?

The 2500 and 5000 do support it as long as they have higher than a certain firmware version (I think it's R08 or higher). If you have modern firmware, it's a standard feature. The XTS2500/XTS5000 use the Astro25 Portable software, which is not the same software that's used to program the XTS3000/Astro Saber.
