• 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.

Good evening all

I have a vx-p824 that is Ver H (380.100mhz - 449.900mhz) trying to change it to Ver D (450.100mhz - 519.000mhz) I am using CE76 and following the same steps as noted in another post for the CE59 I am able to get into developer mode ok able to make all changes under common/hardware changes from H to D make the edits ok then when I try to write to the radio it says "Hardware Missmatch" anyone had this issue? Can anyone explain what " Adjustment Recover" & "Hardware Data Initialize" are used for? thanks 73

Even if you can trick the software into thinking it is the version D, the RF circuits are tuned, and the radio will likely not perform very well outside its rated band split.

It is likely going to be easier to just buy the proper band split
