Hi, folks. Any ideas for a monoband antenna upgrade for this radio, please? Lots of dual band upgrades but I cant find a monoband, If not, opinions on the best dual bander for 440 use would be appreciated. Thanks.

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.

Thanks, I will. Trying to figure out why my signal from (and presumably to) a next-door 440 machine is so lousy. Can barely hear it and only seeing one bar on the meter. So I'll start with an antenna upgrade.

By next-door how far do you mean? Is it something new or has it always been lousy?
A few years ago my wife decided she wanted to replace out incandescent and CFL lighting in the house, well we did save some money on electrics, but my HT coverage from local repeaters (RX'ing) got knocked down by 50 percent in or around the house due to the RFI the LED's generated.

Well, my Icom, Yaesu and Kenwood HTs are full quieting in and out, and even the CCHs perform as well. Just this reprogrammed Icom. Thanks again for helping me.
