• 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.

Lindsay, any First Impressions?

Hey Lindsay. What is your take on the new G5? Looks like you had a few questions from hitting the ground running? Any review for us? I found a decent price for one at a pager shop and am looking forward in hearing about your first out of box experiences. How's it working in San Antonio?

Happy Thanksgiving!

G5 no good for streaming Sorry, no audio out capability. Only useful for local pager monitoring use when you have it with you.

You could steam by using the drop in charger. It has a 3.5 mm jack.

Why couldn't the 3.5 mm jack be used for streaming?

It can be.... he just doesn't want others to know about it.

My fear is the streaming folks will pony up for these units. I think its better to keep these things kind of on the downlow. I guess the cat is out of the hat but hopefully most do not visit this area. I would not make too much of a big deal about them and be discrete about the G4/G5
