That way you can keep backup copies of the VM in case of a real hardware failure. What might make more sense is installing the software and license on a virtual machine. I forget if it was either Kenwood or Motorola, but they told people when your hardware dies or the license file gets screwed up you get to buy a new one. With a license key tied to a specific PC, effectively turning it in to a hardware dongle, if your hard disk dies so does your license. For private hobby use it makes no sense at all. They changed their business model to extract more money out of business customers. This is why I'll NEVER purchase one of the new Kenwood radios, new or used. Once you have purchased the Key, you will need to Authenticate the software on the exact PC that you plan to use. However, you can't use the software until you purchase a $100+ License Key which will be specific to a single PC. You need to use the Kenwood KPG-D6NK software, which should be a free download. Not sure if there's any access available to anyone who is not a dealer, but I'd start by asking the place where you bought the software to point you in the right direction. Those are Dealer Training videos on the MyTools site. Kenwood offers some training videos online through their Kenwood University online. You will need to load any Voice Files into the radio before you can assign those to any channel locations or button functions. It's a fairly simple frequency table setup for most of the Analog information. Having a sample codeplug to work from should help you to figure out the Kenwood setup. You can enable different Digital modes by purchasing a License and enabling the correct firmware. Make sure you've got the correct radio firmware for what you're trying to do. The NX-1300 is either Analog, Analog + DMR, or Analog + NXDN. There's a process to go through in order to allow Wideband to be enabled. I have not yet used the Kenwood NX-1300 on GMRS, but I believe that the standard License will be Narrowband only.
You cannot use Chirp for programming an NX-1300.
