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.

Mar 12, 2016 The Zetron 4010 is a standalone radio dispatch console that can control 2-12 radios and 2 phones as well. Each card has two channels. Here I have a unit that has 7.

Fellow techies,I've got a second-hand Zetron 4010R console arriving in the next couple of weeks, destined to become an integral part of my ham station. From everything I've learned to date, this unit is fairly old (first installed in 1998). I -think- I've found the right version of the programming software (DOS-based Zetron CPS) to use with it, but I won't know for certain until I get it. As a precaution, and in case I decide to update the firmware, I've also purchased the Windows version (CPSW) direct from Zetron.
What I could really use is to connect with someone who's already familiar with these beasties, not just starting out as I am. My immediate questions:
Zetron 4010 Console
- Do I really need to be concerned with firmware updates at all? I've heard differing opinions. One says the only advantage gained by updating to current firmware is the ability to use the Windows version of the programming software. Thoughts?
- Zetron tech support has said they don't recommend updating the firmware because of the hardware's age. They say it may 'not be reliable.' This makes no sense to me, unless they did a major hardware or CPU update during the product's lifetime (they are still in production, and supported). Thoughts?
- Assuming I do need to worry about it: What form does the firmware take? If it's any kind of socketed EPROM or EEPROM, I can easily create my own update, if someone who owns a current console would be willing to read their EPROMs in a device programmer and send me the resultant files. Or, if local to me, let me come by their shop with a portable device reader/programmer and read the chips myself.
- Is there a leakage risk from electrolytic caps in a device this old? My gut reaction is 'probably,' but I'd like to hear from anyone who might know for sure.
