• 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 have now been able to identify the part I mentioned was soldered between the center pin of the
SO-239 antenna connecter and ground lug on the VX-2200. It was not on the parts list or in the
schematic diagrams in the service manual. Apparently Vertex added it recently.
It is a Mitsubishi Surge Absorber. Vertex part number is: Q9000375. From what I have found on
the net, and its color code bands, Red, Grey, Grey, Mitsubishi's number is DSP201M-S00B.
Seems all the UHF VX-2200's I have seen have this surge absorber installed. I have also seen it on a
few VHF VX-2200's which are a few years old. Maybe the latest VHF radios have it now as well.
Thanks to a Vertex dealer for getting the ID from Vertex Engineering.
