Scanners really are a good tool for this. Or, send it off to Motorola (If they still service these guys) in which case they'll probably laugh and send it back.Īnd, as far as I know, the Motorola's will only scan 16 channels or talk groups at a time. The only way to get the radio 'unkilled' would be to go to the system admin, hat in hand, and plead for them to unbrick your radio. You will now have an expensive door stop. Also, a system admin that is paying attention can easily send a kill command to your radio if it's affiliated. If the radio affiliates, it will utilize resources on the system, and that can be very bad. The programming software is difficult to master. It's not as easy as buying a correct bandsplit radio off e-Bay. Yes, it can be done, but there really are a lot of variables involved. There's a lot of good reasons to not do it. Not trying to shoot anyone down, but this subject comes up about once a week.

Commercial, Professional Radio and Personal Radio.

We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola). The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming.

Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package.

Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request.

If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value.
