• 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.

Nope, this forum is good.

Thanks for posting it. Looks very cool. I'd hate to be the guy paying for it though.

Mike What makes you think you are not paying for it?

As this radio system is for the milatary, every one is paying for it, you just do not have to take the $10,000.00 directly out of your pocket.

Let's not get into a taxpayer debate. If you want to discuss the radio then please do so.

If you want to debate who's paying for it than do so in the Tavern.

The radio doesn't seem that useful for regular people since it only covers 30-512MHz for voice and above that its data/networking. According to the brochure it doesn't do narrow band FM per the 2013 FCC mandate.

I would much rather have the Harris RF-7800M-HH which has about the same frequency range and capability for voice but in a hand held size.
