I'm looking for a solution to mount my Motorola portables in the car... so that I'm not occupying my cup holders. I like mounts that are sturdy, so not the type of clips that attach to the heating vents. Any ideas?
Thanks!
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.

Currently I do bogart a cupholder, but I'm using a cell phone holder for my radio. I used to have my Saber in it, up until I moved my 996 to take it's place (now the Saber sits on the seat). I'm looking at getting a RAM mount to replace my cupholder mount.

If I had a place for it I would have, but I instead installed an A9 Spectra. Now the Saber is just a backup.
Another cup holder
For a while, in one of my many vehicles, I used one of those cupholders you can buy in a pack of four or so that will hang on the inside of the window ledge. I cut a square hole in the bottom of it, and I think I had a rag inside the cup holder with it for stability. It did seem to stay put, if I remember right.

You can do the D posts on the radios like old guys have on their duty belts and put the clip portion on your dash. I did that on the patrol boats and it works well.

Motorola portable mount - vehicle
While looking at carrying solutions for XTS5000 at MOL yesterday, I came across
a couple of mobile portable carriers, the kind that slip into the door window crack.
The text from MOL is attached below:
Portable Radio Hanger for door panels up to 2.75" TDN9327A $28.50 list
Portable Radio Hanger for door panels up to 3.25" TDN9373A $18.00 list
The portable radio hanger slides over and hangs from the door panel in a vehicle. The radio’s belt clip slides onto the portable hanger allowing convenient, easy mounting. Two sizes are available to fit door panels.
See attached pictures. The TDN9327A is shown on a 45 degree angle in the pictures.
The TDN9373A is more vertical.
I hope this helps.

Yes... these are GREAT.. but do NOT use them with tinted windows (the stick-on type)! They will ruin them.. trust me!

AH. We're not allowed to have the driver, or adjacent passenger windows tinted here in California.
