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.

This^. Slapping a Jeep badge on a Patriot/Compass or the like is an insult to the Jeep name. My wife's had her Wrangler Unlimited since 2016 with zero issues.
Having said that, they're not easy vehicles for radio and antenna installs.

As was said about the Jeepster, and the SJ Wagoneer, and the Cherokee, and the Grand Cherokee, and the Commanche, and everything else that doesn't superficially resemble wartime production based on a platform developed by Bantam.
If you want to talk insults, talk about the 2WD models including the Postals. Those are just cars.

No antenna mount problems here.

Trimmed a little less than half an inch off the bottom rod of the SG7500 and man did it tune up nice on my fender mount. UHF side starts high around 440mhz (1.6:1) but drops nice and steady towards 449mhz.
GMRS frequencies are still too high but I didn’t think this antenna would cover them very well anyway.
Pulls in some “distant” repeaters real nice too. It’s a winner in my book.
