• 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.

ARE they good quality? They look similar to the ones on ebay that seem like they can go either way... some are solid, some are useless. 'dont mean to piss on anyone's cornflakes, just asking if you mean "quality for $22" or quality period.

Quality

No offense taken, its a valid question. I have a Pryme brand mic for my XTS 5000 i use on duty and the mic i ordered from the link below (to me anyway) seems like a quality mic. It has the 3.5mm ear peice connector and a good thick & solid coiled cable. The connections to the mic body and the radio pin connector appear to be made (production wise) the same as the Moto mic that was issued to me with 5000 as well as the Pryme mic. I was surprised at the price and originally thought it would be only a secondary mic so i ordered one and figured if i didn't like it i'd toss it in the drawer. I was surprised at the quality construction when i got it. But...as you stated someone else that may order one might not be as impressed with it. Who knows, maybe i got one made on a Monday instead of Friday evening at 4:45pm : )
