• 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.

Picture 1:

The left folded dipole array is likely a VHF DB product. The top two antennas on the right side look like UHF Sinclair folded dipole antennas with the bottom one on the right another DB UHF folded dipole. Not sure on model numbers

I'll add some:

2. Hard to tell, too grainy.
3. Looks like possibly a VHF low ground plane antenna. Could be for monitoring CHP or other agencies on low band.
4. Mesh network node.

100% sure on all the antennas in photo 1 that are mounted on the pinwheels(3 sided arms). VHF is a DB. Top two UHF on the right are Sinclair and bottom UHF is a DB

Yep, vhf on top is DB, two top UHF antennas are Sinclair, bottom UHF is DB

The third picture down is a low Vhf monopole

Picture 4 looks like it might be a dual diversity access point for surveillance cameras around the property
