• 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 any agency still actually use the XTS3000 ? I know the CT State Police were using the xts3000 model 2 800mhz radios up until very recently when they finally switched over to the APX.

I have had very good results with the Kawamall cable for both my 3000 and EFJ5100s. I use a Windows XP desktop with a true serial port.

Miami PD used XTS3000's M3 for the longest time. They just recently switched to Harris XL200's

There might be some old federal systems that are still on it like BOP. I used XTS3000 on DOD systems for several years as well as P7100s.

You can run Astro CPS on a virtual XP machine within WIN7. I use a serial KAWAMALL cable with no problems except sometimes you have to reboot to get the CPS to talk to an Astro radio.

My county in NJ was using mostly xts3000 portables and Astro spectra mobiles until last week when they switched over to a new phase ll system.
