• 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 a car I'm planning on buying in some near future has no AUX input, I know right? wtf..., and car bluetooth is going to be busy with the phone, I was thinking of using a portable speaker mounted inside the car instead of the car speakers.
With proliferation of bluetooth portable speakers, it's hard to find speakers that plug in, at least just by googling. Luckily I remembered antenna farm caters to such things and I'd have a higher chance of finding something there.

Any recommendations?

These are the only ones I found, feel free to add more:

I plan to have volume control on an audio muxer, because I have 2 radio scanners, and it's OK if the speaker requires power input. Speakers will be installed in inaccessible locations. I'm designing a PCB for 12V distribution, so I can easily add speaker power output connectors to it.

I use the uniden amplified speakers. They have plenty of wire length. They are under my passenger seat and will blow me out of my car if I crank the volume on my bcd536 and 996p2.
