• 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.

Getting back into the sport. What radio?

If that antenna is a folded dipole, like a Big Stick, you're going to hate it, and so will your neighbors. Get yourself a Super Penetrator and have fun hearing stations twice as far away. Also, you want some quality RG8 coax and NOT RG58 or 8X.

Well so far my Max 2000 is working well. Even had high winds. I asked one of my neighbors to let me know if I bleed over their TVs. So far no issue.

Only issue I have now is some noise from some power lines. Right below the set of lines that make noise is an amp for comcast. Don't think it is the amp from comcast but a power line issue feeding noise to street lights. Have to do a little more research and contact the city. If they are not willing to move on it then contact the FCC.
