• 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.

Here are a few tips. Make sure the software is the same for both. If so, always read a radio first and then edit the programming information. Never just start programming from the programming screen. In the beginning I messed up one of my Vertex radios because one of them didn't have 12.5 KHz spacing in the hardware, just 5 and 10KHz spacing.

Thanks but the vx132 and the vx160 use different software to program the radios...The 160 use ce-44 and the 130 use ce-74..the frequency I'm trying to program on the 160 is 151.895 witch can be programmed to It but it also has a pwr2 and a code 058:D-047 writhen on the same line beside the frequency...on the 160 I don't have this option...I know absolutely nothing when It come this stuff I'm so green you can mistake me for a blade of grass any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like that "code" could be the problem. If the 160 does not have any codes enabled, then try to disable that code on the 132. Or you could try to duplicate the same code on the 160. You also want the enc and dec codes the same. If one is 047, make the other one the same.
