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 wonder where you get your information.
1) MPSCS does not authorize dealers, they authorize two-way radios allowed to access the system.
2) https://www.comsourcemi.com/public-safety/pagers.htm
3) Detroit is in MPSCS, but on a limited spur type of arrangement.

Prings is right on the money with the G4 performance and Ray's customer service. What a fantastic unit that is blowing away the more well-known players in the 'scanner market' quietly.

1.I got the information via a link posted on the mpscs web page in 2015.
2. Comsource has none in stock
You mean this? https://www.michigan.gov/documents/1_1_1_MPSCS_Fee_Structure_163657_7.pdf?20141226145527
That is for a fire department to join the system and activate a talkgroup on the trunk so that they can send pages out. It is not for a paging receiver.
Good grief. This is amazing misinformation in here.
I've bought a ton of Unications (G5 and G4) from Digicom in Troy and some more from Comsource in Plymouth. In my experience, most dealers don't keep cases of radios sitting around. They order them when they have an order. So if that's what you call 'out of stock'... Usually get them in 10 days to 2 weeks after they get my purchase order.
The $1500 is the MPSCS set-up fee for pagegroups. A pagegroup is just a talkgroup that is forced to particular towers, for the exclusive purposes of paging. Pagegroups do not require a radio to be affiliated with a site to be transmitted on it. Fee covers the background work they have to do with consoles, at the NCC and so on. They do not charge for the pagers. Pagers can be programmed by dealers, dispatch, or the department themselves. The state doesn't really care since it doesn't transmit. They were going to create the file and send it to the subscribers, but they decided its too much work and they're too busy.
