• 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.

Need help from F-5061 owner

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a F-5061 and have a Jotto Desk console in my truck, but Jotto doesn't list a faceplate for the radio. If I can't either buy one or have someone make one, I'll have to pick another radio, so...

Would anyone out there with a F-5061 be so kind as to measure the size of opening that would be needed to mount it in a panel/faceplate, and perhaps the depth of the radio if it's panel mounted?

Thanks a million,
Jason

This is from Icoms website

160×45×150 mm Dimensions (W×H×D)

I have email the console companies about this and they have told me several times they do have a face plate that will work.

Thanks. So it looks like (as you actually have one) a 160x45mm hole is right for this radio? It looks like Jotto Desk makes some faceplates that appear to fit.

Thanks!

I put one in a Jotto in a Crown Vic for a local PD. Used the same plate as an F121. Worked fine.
