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.

Actually:
The Astro Spectra, Astro Saber and XTS3000 all share the same firmware. Astro Spectras and Sabers first appeared in 1992, first as VSELP then in 1996 when P25 phase 1 was ratified by the TIA and APCO, the XTS3000 was released. R0F did a very comprehensive guide to these radios up to the Astro 25 line and is very thorough, technically accurate and a good reference.

There’s a UHF Astro Saber on eBay right now that has a super early Firmware of like 3.00.something. Has to be a 512K unit.
Of course I just looked and couldn’t find it now. They took a short video of the service mode and it showed the model, serial, etc etc. had super early firmware and DSP.
Speaking of Astro Sabers - I’ve noticed that recently that have been a TON of Sabers and Astro Sabers being dumped on eBay. A year or two ago they were far and few between finding one. Now - they are everywhere. In every band. ( even seen some Systems Sabers in really good condition sell recently as well ).
Posting a link to your talking head video (full of ads), on multiple sites (not just here, but apparently anywhere radio geeks like us might congregate - how many different fb groups did you spam?) is, by definition SPAMIt isn't spam, although spam is quite delicious!!
