• 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.

So my truck was broken into Tuesday, and they of course took my most expensive radio. It was a kenwood public service radio. My buddy told me to look into Icoms. What i need is a public service/ham radio VHF. I use it for my fire fighter duties (talking with dispatch/traffic control with officers/and other interops). Its a mobile for my truck. Also would like it to be able to use for ham vhf. Other options i would like is p25 as another county we asist is fully digital, and interop with them via my truck would make life easier for us en route to scene. Any suggestions? Also dont want to pay full list so any depots or places that sell used radios? If this post has confused anyone i apologize, just trying to explain what i need and what i want.

If you looking for an anolog radio then the Icom F5061 would be a great radio.If you reall need P25 you would need the 1721 series radio in P25
