Almost forgot. As MM says above those things have really good receivers.
If you are not hearing stuff MILES away, there is a problem.

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.
Programming Low Band MT1000

I still like Low Band, so much that this post got me to buy a MT1000 99 channel unit, and yes the stock Mot NAB antenna doesn't have the tuning slug. The cap is missing so I can see right down the middle. I might prefer the tuning slug antenna, as it's a lot easier to tune a slug then cut the antenna plus you can't make it longer.
Ok,
Now I'm curious about the aftermarket antenna mentioned with the top tuning slug.
I have access to an antenna range north of Portland and now I'm interested in comparing the stock Moto antenna to this top slug tuned antenna.
Can someone provide a link to the aftermarket slug tuned antenna and I'll buy my own and see about comparing it to the nab6064 antenna.

NC is my summer home, I am still stuck in nanny state NY for a few more years. I have been looking for that tunable antenna too. This way I can have the 46mhz fire and the 52mhz ham in the same radio.

The ribless cable I have works great on ht1000/maxtrac/mts2000 and I run the rss on dosbox on my windows 7 laptop
