• 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.

I currently have a Motorola HPN1007A power supply powering a VHF CM300 (Not sure what wattage it is.. model: AAM56KNF9AA1AN. I see that this power supply is only a 10 amp surge at 13.6 volts. I use this radio normally for RX only, but on the rare occasion that I will have to talk on it, sometimes I get the low power indicator upon keying the mic.. I guess it just does not pump out enough juice for the cm300?

Sounds like you need to upgrade your power supply. I use an old Motorola HPN3000A power supply to run my Motorola Radios. Its a dinosaur compared to what they make today but they don't make stuff like they use to. I've ran my 45 Watt Motorola Spectra with this power supply that pull 15A continuous without a problem. If you are looking for something more modern then you can't go wrong with a Astron Power Supply. I would recommend a Astron RS-20 should do the trick for what you need.
