Radio Programming Options

The following does not apply to FRS, MURS, GMRS, LTE, Satellite, or IP radios.

Most business radios aren't ready to use out-of-the-box. So radio programming is needed to set the frequencies in the radio. For some radios the frequencies can be set through a menu interface. While other radios must be programmed using a PC, radio software, and a cable to connect the radios.

Here are your programming options:

We can program your radios - with radio orders

We provide basic radio programming for radios ordered through us. See the description below of basic radio programming.
Email us your Frequencies & Call Sign - the FCC requires dealers to verify your license before we program.
Please allow 1-2 days for first-time setup of radio programming.
Due to staffing limitations, we are not able to program radios purchased from other dealers.
