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.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the channel selection knob on the radio when a Commander Mic is connected to the accessory port? What we are seeing here is that if the channel selection knob on the radio is set to channel 3 and the Commander Mic is set to any other channel than 3, the radio will default back to channel 3 after a while. The time on this varies, but it seems that the radio knob is the default. It seems to me that the knob on the Commander mic should override the radio.

I haven't been able to find anything in the codeplug that will allow me to disable or set a preference for either knob. It may be an issue we will just have to make the officers who have the Commander Mics aware of so we don't get a lot of unneccessary repairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
