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'm hoping this will help point you in the right direction. i'm assuming that your mag mount is bnc.
BNC Adapters
first item at the top, item # SMF-BNF BK. i've used this to hook up my XTS1500 to my ST2 in the home, as well as mag mounts in the car.

The adapters cause more strain on the radios antenna jack. NOT recommended.
This is just one of the adapter cables available.

Better to break an adapter cable than teh radio .....

I agree, I would buy a premium cable and adapter to minimize the loss. Alot of cables have 3-8db loss for a cable/adapter assemble that's relatively short at 1 few feet
I repair the SMA mounts on XTS2500s DAILY. The SMA junction is attached directly to the PCB and they are very weak. Adding adapters to the XTS2500 is going to cause issues. XTS3000/5000 are a little better, but I would not recommend using any type of adapter on these or any radio for that matter.
Always use the correct connector (not adapter) and good quality feedline.
