I am in dire need of 5 brand new Kenwood TK-2312 radios. They are no longer manufactured but I know there is a dealer out there that has some. Please Help!!

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.

Good luck. They're very hard to find at this point.
If you don't need new, Jeff over at Hartford Communications in Maine had some good used ones available.

The TK-2312 was discontinued a while back and replaced by the NX-1200AVK.
You might find some dealers with TK-2312 still on the shelves, but you'd need to start calling them and asking.
If you cannot find any, the NX-1200AVK is the analog only version of the NX-1200 List price is about $290, but you should be able to get them less than list.
You'd need new programming software (KPG-D6NK), as I'm sure you've guessed, and that's going to set you back $104 list price. Your programming cable from the 2312's will work, though.
