• 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 am using one of those IBM PS/2 486 Pizza Boxes.

BM PS/2 9533 "PS/2e"

Codename: PIZZABOX

1 x ISA Slot

1 x IBM 486SLC2-25/50

16 MB Parity RAM

It only has one ISA slot, so your options are limited. Mine came with a dual PCMCIA card, but I am using the sole ISA slot for something "special". If I can figure a way to get the thing on the network via the RS232 while not programming I would be happy, since I have no 3.5 floppy drive in my main computer.

I use a IBM thinkpad 365 for my DOS programs. Always has worked well. I just looked on fleabay, and I see the prices are going up. That's what happens when -VINTAGE- is in the description lol.

I always liked those lunch box portable PC's the ones with the display and keyboard integrated into a box. There were knockoffs that accepted various small ISA motherboards. You could build what you needed. When you are done programming, you could stow it away neatly in a closet.
