The cable for this radio is very cheap on Ebay, and easy to build yourself.
The software can probably be downloaded if you know where to look. It's a very small dos program.
With a radio with capabilities like that, you need to get the software and program it properly.
YMMV

Re: MRK -> MPA programming cable
Everyone, I have now finally gotten my MPA/AEGIS radios, after some excruciating delays and all those woes with MRK II before that. Only to discover that the MRK and MPA programming cables are different. I currently have a Price Industries MRK-2 ribless programming cable. Before I sigh and spit out...
I would like to make a report from the field. The vx-920 definitely outperforms my HT-1250, and my 1250 outperforms my HT-1000. This is on the UHF band in NYC. We have lots of intermod and other interference. This radio is smaller, lighter, the battery lasts longer. I especially like the lithium bat...

Sometimes strange things happen, and NYC gets embarrassed or backended into certain things. For example, back in the day the NYPD has RMPs that had manual steering. When power steering began to be offered as an option, NYPD declined because they didn't want to have maintain power steering systems fo...

Okay, I've come to understand that this is the case. However, what are the chances that I can take this board off an AEGIS enabled GE Ericsson M-PA (product ID: PAPATH) - there's a bunch of those for sale cheap on eBay, but all worn out and without batteries etc. I don't know if the M-PA board will...

They are advertising the vx-920 in APCO P25 digital for $1567 in UHF
VHF is $1340
VX-P929-G7 is the UHF package if you call and inquire.
Anyone know if you can get the cross band sub board option with the digital style?
