With narrowbanding right around the corner I am looking to upgrade my Yaesu VHF transceiver to a commercial radio so I can achieve greater RF sensitivity. Now before I go out and pick up a used HT1000 or something along those lines, can I use the RSM audio adapter to broadcast the radio exclusively through my computer speakers, allowing me to stream the audio to the internet?

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.
Any way to use radio for online scanner feed?

You have two questions here.
You need really good receiver, and a handheld receiver is not as good as a mobile radio's receiver.
Then you need a fixed level audio to go to the computer's audio input. Depending on the radio as to the "adapter" or interface to the computer.
You can interface to the HT1000 radio but need a audio transformer and wiring in the RSM connector. The radio's volume control will still be a variable.
CDM and many of the later Motorola mobiles have a fixed filtered audio output made for your application. What we call line level, that is used to feed logging recorders and consoles.
