• 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.

Don't forget edge availability, you're gonna need that so you can still talk on your console between mom's basement and your bunker during maximum SHTF. The YouTube experts will say you don't need it, but you totally do!

Do you have system key? I know a guy, we can set up. We can begin on this system asap, no problem. Most importantly G857 FDNY Emergency Rx/Tx Tone Set. This is a requirement sir.

Don't forget to follow industry standards and use phone numbers as the key variable. I recommend multiple keys for security but make sure they all use the same KID of 1 for convenience.

APS, alternate power source. 100,000,000 mAH UPS grid tied, then generator ATS, auto transfer switch, rated for 100kW, because you have to install a Generac whole site powerplant. That way, you can charge the other tenants when the grid dies. If you want to be reeeaaal sure, get 1,000,000,000,000 mFarad capacitor bank to absorb lightning strikes, and reuse as Storm Power™.
