• 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.

Hi,

I recently got a new cb and a antenna kit. I have a 94 chevy silverado ext. cab and I would like to mount the antennas to the bed rails. The problem is that I don't know where I should run the wires from the cb to the antennas. I am not afraid to drill any holes the question is where? If there is a certain spot on the bed of the truck that you might think is a better spot to mount the antennas as well let me know. Pictures would help a lot but any advice on this would help me a bunch.

Thanks,
94chev

Run the coax under the carpet or under the door sill plate at the bottom of the door opening and out thru the back wall of the cab. Then all you have to do is go up between the cab and the bed split your antennas and mount them to the rails.....Hope this Helps Ya.......Hoser

If you don't have an existing rubber washer or the like, take and drill a 3/4 " hole the same as you would if installing an NMO mount, then take a rubber 3/4 " hole plug and put in the hole then you can take a pocket knife and make an opening for your coax cable to pass through.

I ran all my coax thru the 'vent' that is on the rear of the cab. It is tricky the first time, but after that it is real easy.
