R21 is in increments of 5%

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.

I've got two portables on R21 and I don't believe I've seen 5% increments. Hmm.

Huh
I'll keep an eye on them, just put fresh IMPRES 2 batteries on each. Maybe I'm just braindead today and can't remember seeing 5% increments.Huh
Of course my silly little XPR displays in 1% increments, go figure. I'll actually take the XTS/APX display of the actual mAh remaining over the finer %, though.

I always liked the mah countdown on the XTS because a 3 bars doesn't really cut it if you're an OCD battery gauge watcher like me. I always like to check the mah remaining and get to know a solid number before it hits the flashing 410
The XPR does a decent job with the extra pixels on the home screen battery gauge and when you go into utilities you get 10 bars, not really needed when you have percentage number, they should have put the mah remaining inside of the battery gauge in place of the bars on the page

I like how precise the XPR one is but I like how the APX shows mAh. For example, my one APX battery only has about 70% service life. I like how when it's fully charged it shows 70% and not 100%. My one XPR battery has a 45% service life and it shows 100% when it's charged. It's the little things that make them so unique.
