RadioSoftware.ONLINE is a long-running community project for professionals and advanced enthusiasts in land mobile radio equipment. It focuses on practical knowledge, software preservation, firmware history, documentation, and technical exchange in a narrow radio communications niche.
The collection and expertise behind the club were built over 19 years with contributions from people in many countries. This is not a public file shop or a casual download portal. It is a club with rules, expectations, and a technical culture.
The collection continues to grow through contributions from radio software professionals, collectors, engineers, system administrators, and advanced LMR enthusiasts around the world.

This project supports one of the world's largest specialist radio communities: people who enjoy amateur and professional LMR radio, work in this industry, collect radio equipment, program radio gear, exchange practical information, and preserve rare software, firmware, service files, and documentation.
Our project has changed its name several times since it was established in 2007. Eventually, we decided to stay with the RadioSoftware.ONLINE name because it reflects our main competence: collecting radio software, listing the collection online, preserving technical material, and exchanging it within narrow circles of radio geeks and LMR professionals.
RadioSoftware.ONLINE is maintained by an international team of radio amateurs, radio professionals, system administrators, support people, and software specialists. The list below does not include contributors, temporary members, former members, and other people who have helped the project over the years.

You do not have to take only our word for it. Reviews about RadioSoftware.ONLINE are easy to find on , through , on RadioReference, in Facebook groups related to LMR and radio communications, and in other radio communities.

We do not support any war, military conflict, sanctions, or countersanctions. We do not shout political slogans, make appeals, or collect donations for any country.
