Thanks Eric et al! Of course the current software and software for the radios are the highest priority when it comes to RSS protection. Its the more obsolete units that are either 1) no longer being serviced by depot or 2) So old they dont care what happens to it. What about RSS for 800 MHz STX HTs? :-)
Good doorstops! If I were in Motorola's shoes, I'd say go for it to anyone who wants to put it up for public use, and focus on the creeps who are trying to push / pirate the RSS for the XTS5000, like you said earlier. I'd not be surprised if Motorola trolls those Programming sites incognito asking for current software...... John Hymes La Rue Communications 10 S.

John, While I cannot speak for Motorola, it is clear that Motorola's first priority is to protect the copyright of current software. On one programming-oriented site, there is no end of idiots who post messages like, "Can anyone send me a copy of the latest software for the XTS5000?" And there are idiots who respond with something like, "Contact me off-list," or "Check your PM." I doubt that Motorola will send out the legal beagles to collar someone who offers RSS for the SP50 or GM300, but I think that anyone who openly offers pirate RSS or CPS that is still being licensed and sold is asking for serious trouble. Big time. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of La Rue Communications Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Erring on the Side of Caution.... Ran across this website.... http://www.hampedia.net/motorola/mt-1000.php <http://www.hampedia.net/motorola/mt-1000.php> Found out it has the RSS to the Motorola MT1000. And me being the cautious guy to never get into legal crap with the big boys as I know how Motorola's Software License Agreement is big and scary...... Is this site legitimate or is this site just asking for trouble by posting RSS for the general public? Thoughts? Comments? Should I stay away from these people? Thanks!
