• 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'm old and I guess, old-fashioned. I sort of assumed customer service. My bad.

This kind of logic is why I go out of the way NOT to install radios for Hams.

OP, I'm quite impressed with your attitude. You definitely have a head on your shoulders.

Having worked a number of years in the automotive field in addition to two way radio, I wouldn't touch anything other than OE coils. Aftermarket coils have caused me to rip out so much hair tracking odd misfires. (Hitachi, being an OE manufacturer, would be acceptable. BWD-->No F Way)

As far as the above comment, nothing gives away a cantankerous old fart (nicest term I can think of) more than the demand for "customer service".

Professional radio installers are probably more familiar with a Police vehicle like a Crown Vic than a Honda CRV. When you buy a fleet vehicle, the manufacturer recommends (up fitting) where to get power and how to run cables. In a CRV it is pretty much anyone's guess how any Professional might rout the wires. So the radio cables might be too close to the wiring harness for the ECU.
