AFI900 Software for FM900

AFI900 is replacement control software (firmware) for FM900 radios in amateur use, providing many enhanced features and functions.
Please note: Although this software requires the CTCSS hardware to be fitted, it DOES NOT SUPPORT CTCSS tone generation which is now commonly required.
This makes the software no longer very useful so I have withdrawn it from sale.

The Philips FM900s are commercial two way radios built in Australia during the 1980’s. Many of them have reached the end of their commercial life and have become available to amateur radio operators.

The AFI900 software is a replacement version of the control program for the Philips FM92R written by David Griffiths, VK2AFI. I will not go into a lot of detail about the FM900s here as there are already several good pages covering them. See the links at the bottom of this page.

FM92 Remote Control Head

The FM92 with Remote Control Head is the model which comprises most of the units now in amateur service. This head has a volume control, a mute adjustment, three LEDs, a two digit 7 segment display and four push buttons (the power button doesn't count!). These controls were quite adequate for normal commercial use, where only very limited scanning and channel selection options were required, however for amateur use they prove to be somewhat limited.
