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.

A review by Paul, a Slovakian operator whose videos include quite a lot of new gear. The NRC demo in first few minutes is VG.
FWIW, I’ve found it useful to follow some reviewers as one gains an idea of what they find important, and why.

Sounded to me exactly what I have had on multiple ham radios, although I will admit although I hate that sound that's neat they got to work like that with just one button push. Do you know, is there a video of that on AM anywhere or can you make one possibly? Thanks for sharing that.

Digi-Mic Road Test (how you’ll sound to others with NRC in TX). It’s muted compared to what I hear over my system (difference is even sharper than this).

That thread was meant to be a good introduction to NRC radios. You’ll see reports by others. I recommend a read-thru. The excitement of this jump in tech is palpable.
For RX there are quite a few videos demonstrating the difference. Look for those that demonstrate both AM & SSB.
This one is closest in audio quality to how it sounds in my truck. Note that most of it is Skip.
I characterize NRC this way: Our now-obsolete Hi-Q radios received the distant TX, but were unable to filter it such that we could decipher what was being said.
These new radios have greater RX range, as well. The radius-distance is greater, and all that’s within that range is heard better by “them” and by us.
3-miles mobile while moving became 5-miles in the same moment, and all of it is substantially better.
I’ve ten years of hearing (and conversing) with men across AM-19 that those in traffic around me can’t hear at all. (See thread as recommended).

After reading several posts by @slowmover extolling the virtues of this speaker, I bought one and tried it today with a CB (President McKinley), ham radio (Yaesu FT-818), and scanner (Uniden BC125AT). Operation.--The speaker comes with its own power and audio cables. The power cable is...
