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 have much experience with it. It is good but VERY expensive. You would be better off with some UBNT stuff from Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. If you want i would help you figure out what you need. PM me offlist.
Look into Carlson (Carlson Wireless Technologies - Leaders in TV White Space). They have some really proven 2/4/5 GHz products, are really getting a list of white-space products going.
Motorola Canopy is gone..Its Cambium now...We're a reseller and like the product line. Proxim also makes a great PTP system. Not a fan of Ubiquiti.....YMMV

Well, we have three systems that were in operation, but am revamping the system... would like to go broadband at all sites, but the main site is so remote, that's not an option.. so we were thinking of using the already bought and paid for infrastructure.
With the right antennas and good line of sight, 5 miles is no problem...I'm sure you'll be able to make it happen with the reused radios.
