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.

I seem to remember it being just above with roughly 4 inches between the stamping and support. The support should be pretty much in line with the B pillars (leading edges of the suicide doors). It's been almost two years since I worked on an extended cab though.

CB in the middle since it needs a large ground plane. Ideally the ground plane for a CB antenna is going to be one quarter wavelength, or about 108 inches in all directional around the mount. Since you can't get that on your truck, you give it the most you can.
800MHz only needs 3 inches of ground plane in all directions around the antenna to work best. That's readily achievable by going above the center high mount stop light..
The "TBD" statement concerns me. What you use this antenna mount for really dictates what it needs. If it's for a receive antenna, it's not critical. If it's for transmitting, then we need to talk....
I decided that the TBD antenna will most likely be another receive only antenna. Probably a dual band (VHF/UHF).

OK, shouldn't be an issue.
You do want to keep some space between all your antennas:
-Even with a 4 watt/12 watt CB, you can generate enough energy at the antenna to desensitize the receivers on the other radios. While it's not going to cause any damage, it might get annoying to have the receive audio drop out every time you transmit.
-Putting antennas too close together can change the radiation pattern. Again, probably not much of an issue for a CB.
But, just in case you ever decide to get your amateur radio license, GMRS, etc. making sure you give yourself about 19 inches between antennas would be a good choice.
