• 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.

The volume knob turned counter clockwise is too loud. How do I set it so that its low enough to hear chatter but not so the whole block can hear it. I have the AF Min set to 1 and I tried to program it to 0 and its muted but when I turn the volume up it automatically gets loud without building up volume.

Can't tell for mobiles, but we had very similar issues with portables. The volume pots went bad and they are probably wired up as a Rheostat. So they go full volume if there is an issue.

The pots cost a few bucks each and are probably as easy to change in mobiles.

Max, Can you point me where I can purchase them?

I buy everything from our local dealer. Can't tell for the US but there should be online dealers. These items are not very expensive so it may even be cheaper to buy it locally than to get it shipped from another state.
