• 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.

Hello, I am racking my brain trying to figure out where exactly to mount my Uniden BCD996P2 and a Yeasu uhf/vhf mobile in the vehicle, would any of you be willing to help me pick a secure, out of the way, safe spot? they could be in different locations too...
I have NMO's on the roof already, just need to figure out radio placement locations.

Thank you!
Also, does anyone know where in the firewall I can pull my power in?

Not everyone will be familiar with your two devices, so an image(s) also showing dimensions will be of help.

Here’s an example:

The LIDO Seatbolt Mount is a default radio mount choice. The phone, GPS, etc., can also be thus secured.

As to firewall penetration the most fruitful avenue is to research this on vehicle enthusiast forums. No need to re-invent the wheel where the same routing as others has been successful (search under, “radio install”, or, transceiver).

The typical places are an un-used clutch cable opening; steering column; and best (IMO) is a starboard A/C line opening.

Grommet or cable gland (better) plus having the 12V power cable (ANCOR Marine Grade) under a split-loom cover if making one’s own.

12V Neg to closest good (tested) Ground.

The more thorough your info on the install, the more help to another in the future.

The Radio Install Forum is the home of Q’s of this type. Will get more response.
