I happened across this today, I just wish Cobra or Uniden would actually do it.

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.

That sure is a lot of unshielded wire. I'd be curious to hear how clean the transmitted audio sounded.
I guess it's a matter of how much time/trouble/$$$ you are willing to go to for the convenience. I figure the legitimate manufacturers will eventually go to a 'remote' head for CB radios. Maybe. Considering the advances CB radios have NOT made in the last 20 - 30 years, I also don't think I'm going to hold my breath.

I remote-mounted a Pro-2006 years ago by using 25 pair telephone cable. I stripped the outer jacket off and put in two shielded 3 conductor cables and then used a LONG piece of heat-shrink. Worked like a champ and looked factory after I was done. It was in a 91 Toyota Camry (no room for anything).
Years later after removing the scanner from that car, I put it back to the original set-up. I still have the homemade back-plate for the head and the base with the cable.
Showing Back of face-plate.
Showing base of scanner plate.
Lot's of soldering, but it was fun and worth it to me.

I bought a car one time with a cheap $40 Uniden CB radio. The P/O, who was a stereo junkie and good with wiring, bought a computer data ribbon and extended the faceplate of that radio off the chassis and stashed the chassis under the seat. Wish I kept it.
