• 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.

Hello all I have purchased yet another XTS3000 VHF and nearly blow my eardrums out every-time I turn it on. Even if I click it on with the lowest volume, the self-test beep is as loud as it is on my UHF radios nearly all the way turned up. It's too loud and obnoxious. Is there a tuner or CPS setting that controls this? AGC is off as well as other settings. I've never had this issue before either.

The previous owner must have either been deaf, or a first responder who slept on the job alot and wanted to MAKE SURE they never missed a call!
If the cops in my area are any indication, it is the latter ;-)

I had to fix that a while back. A organization had 10 HT1000s that they came to me with. The original programmer had tuned the alert tones all the way up, AND THEN, they turned on the TPT hack. You could hear when someone keyed up in the next county. Needless to say, I told them to never use that guy again ;-)

Glad you got it fixed.

Matt
