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.

all I bought was a 12 shot Henry lever action, 22 Magnum with 24" barrel, to take care of some coyotes.... the coyotes are so bad here we can now shoot them legally 24/7 ... I go out nightly to take the dog out.. he chases a pack of coyotes a few times a week so I have to carry my handgun.... it's hard to hit a coyote with a Bertta M9 from 200 yards away....... and the coyotes are now getting used to the noise and are now laughing at me...
we'll see who laughs last
I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE SPENT IT ON CB EQUIPMENT

You can shoot eastern coyotes/coywolves from inside your home in Massachusetts
Ethics, safety, and fair chase hunting demands people should not be able to bait coyotes and engage in “recreational” hunting from their easy chair next to their window- On this blog we…

We also have several packs of coyotes that hang around here too. My neighbor and his boys thin out the pack every so often. Henry makes a fine line of rifles that's for sure.all I bought was a 12 shot Henry lever action, 22 Magnum with 24" barrel, to take care of some coyotes.... the coyotes are so bad here we can now shoot them legally 24/7 ...

Great link listening to that crybaby about coyotes uncontrolled.
Maybe he’d like wolf packs returned along with mountain lions to act as “natural control”.
NVIS and thermal would be great tools to clean up the neighborhood. Way beyond my means, but what feral hogs do just wipe out a man’s effort in a night or three.

As if anybody will even notice.
I have MaCom 40 watt speakers, they are hard to beat, even with my bad hearing.

It’s a strange affectation to advocate that which doesn’t work. What does work is that which gets the job done and not a penny more.

Anything by President LOL (I love my Washington) 
Same with my 1861 Springfield rifle which my great grandfather carried in the civil war and handed down to his descendants. No Italian or Brazilian parts on that one! Its a little slow for coyotes but it does have a wicked bayonet if all else fails. Hmm, the thing is sooo dang long maybe it could be loaded up for CB with a tuner and you could be on the air while hunting.

I’ve forgotten now how long it took me to get this Erector Set combination put together a few summers back, but it was more than three (3) hours as I rummaged thru boxes.
Some components not shown (in rear).
I was between jobs and trying to use gear not dedicated to the big truck. Something could go atop a cabinet in the TT (technically a Mobile Installation).
Worked pretty well strapped by seat belt in the pickup. The 99 had been dialled back and it’d hit the 7405V just right. Still hadda watch that Mic Gain.
102” on a QD and coax thru a window, I could somewhat ameliorate that crazy wind whip at 60-MPH with the MFJ tuner.
Permanent antenna and an NRC radio (alone) beat the dog#+& out of trying to keep this all on the same page despite DSP in the audio.
I did, however, earn my Radio Redneckin’ Merit Badge

Took the approach with my last non-NRC big truck radio to ride in the passenger seat, velcroed atop an APACHE 4800 transport case as I worked up what length risers for the then-new SIRIO 5000 3/8 antennas.
44” solid stainless shafts are what was needed to get them near-vertical with the coils away from the A-pillars. Heaviest antennas I’ve ever run.
Feedpoint choke still a weak link (mount), but with transceiver coax-end filter also these became unreal.
NRC radio & DRX-901 speaker this is where I’d get men walking past (engine off, door & windows open) asking if I was listening to VHF (clean audio quality).
That MFJ-945e Tuner was a real help

The present big truck radio rig is such that with this TAC COMM Radio Carrier I can swap things around to suit.
Remove it from truck easily, or when tractor goes into shop radio goes to the sleeper.
Found a “milk crate” into which all of this fits (including the Fly’N Drive DX-86V backup radio) to make for ease in moving into or out of a tractor.
The mic on a GearKeeper I just attach to a convenient screw head or over the lip of a cabinet.
The Audio cable is long (20’) as the speaker gets mounted overhead above left shoulder.
The amp may look big, but it’s at under 100W per antenna. Almost equivalent to a slightly hot Export in a pickup. The Big Truck Crutch.
Roof center permanent antenna on a 4-wheeler will outperform it in TX with this radio alone. But it won’t RX any farther.

Dear lord... not even a metal mirror arm to attach an antenna..... looks next to impossible to get a radio system to work in those big rigs.

Plenty of aluminum in the arm under that skin. The mirror head, almost no metal above its base.
