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.

Traditionally you have either a tone remote or a DC remote. One uses in-band tone signaling, and the other uses DC voltages, to control a radio at a remote location. It could be a radio in another room or at a location like a mountain-top radio site. The remote is usually a telephone-like device (Google "Motorola DGT9000"). This is helpful in large buildings where you can put the radio in the penthouse and run a phoneline to an office several floors away. No worries about getting a signal out or in that way.
So, no, you wouldn't use a portable radio with it. In a situation where a portable can't talk out (of say, a building) you use what's called a BDA or Bi-Directional Amplifier.

I was originally going to suggest a PAC-RT type of configuration. But, what you have to come up with is a way to transmit to your base station and get it to retransmit to your repeater.
What you need to do is set up up the PAC-RT unit in the office (or a cross-band repeater) that will rebroadcast from that location to your repeater and to the mobile that your carrying. So most likely you will need a hand-held of a different frequency to work with the PAC unit. You might want to see if that is cheaper than getting a DC Remote setup.
