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. 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. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming.
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.

Joined Dec 27, Messages 2. Vertex Standard programming software allows users to set frequencies and functions within their Vertex radios. You can: set each channel's frequency and privacy codes set functions for each programmable key on your radio set parameters such as delay time for the Time-Out-Timer, and other functions save the settings and program multiple radios with the same settings The guide below outlines which Vertex Standard programming software is needed for each radio model, and the associated programming cables needed to connect the radio to your PC.
You may download your Vertex software immediately after ordering. Vertex Standard Software — Handheld Radios. Vertex Standard Software — Mobile Radios. In this format, the four bytes of data for the decimal value 50,, are stored in the computer and in a file as 80 F0 FA 02, where the least significant byte is stored at the lowest or leftmost address. If you look carefully, you'll notice that the bytes are in the reverse order from what I expected to find at the end of the previous paragraph.
This storage order, where the most significant byte comes first, is also known as "Big Endian" and is often called the Motorola format. Read more about this on the Wikipedia page for "Endianness".
As I was viewing files created by a Windows program and running on an Intel processor, I naturally assumed that the data would be in Intel format. As soon as I flipped the bytes around and looked for 02 FA F0 80 and viewed it in Motorola format, the value 50,, stood out like a sore thumb. The Windows Calculator will also display the hex value as 2FA F bit groups with no leading zeroes , so be careful when using your hex editor. Had I searched for the full hex value, rather than the decimal value, I'd have found it right away.
Further analysis indicates that the microprocessor used on these radios is loosely based on the old 8-bit Intel chip, which oddly enough is Big Endian for multi-byte values and addresses. My hex editor is able to search and replace data in many formats, including bit integers. When I told it to find as a decimal value in Intel format, it failed, but as soon as I switched to Motorola format, it found it right away.
I was able to change to in two places in the saved ". C49" file and that opened up the frequency limits quite nicely.
I was then able to enter frequencies through the CE49 software up to Anything higher was reset to In the ". C49" file, the lower and upper band limits are adjacent to each other.
You can change either or both values for your particular radio. The ". C49" file has two halves; you need to make the change to both locations and they're hex bytes apart. The first half covers the "master" radio while the second half covers the "slave" radio in a dual radio configuration. The value pairs are stored every 16 bytes and in the same order as the "Common Note that the addresses are different and unique for each band split.
C49" file can have multiple value pairs filled in for a given radio, although I have no idea how the radio figures out which one to use. Perhaps the firmware makes that decision. For completeness, here's the full band limit data.
