• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Guys,
I'm tasked with setting up a repeater for my volunteer SAR team and was debating which repeater make/model to go with. There are not too many reviews of the Icom, and the only difference I can see is that it has a little bit more receive sensitivity according to the manual. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.

The only differance between any radio is the bells/whistles the age, the way they are maintaned and the name.

I use and service radios from Icom, Kenwood, Motorola and Vertex, again the only differance is what you want.

I am also looking at both, but the analog/NXDN versions and still going back and forth. Leaning towards the Icom at this point in time. Little less miney, specs on paper are a little better, and smaller footprint.

Up until this point been running several of the older TKR-820 series.
