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.

Found it! Supposedly fits Aerotron cabinets and mobiles, so not Motorola. Makes sense as I used to install Aerotron mobiles....last century.
Now on to identifying my other unknown keys. Did find my original "MRCA" key.

I have piles of those keys. We had a bus company that had Aerotron Mobiles and repeaters...the deck was horrible in a bus and required us to tighten all the VCO screws monthly on every bus.....

Kevin, with all this talk of keys, would these help me in decoding my local Ambulance ? and how many might I need
Yes they will, can also be used as system keys.
and how many might I need
and how many might I need
I believe it takes one key per ambulance and the reverse key per dispatcher for input and output (not ambulance/dispatch freq but individuals)
I thought this was a system key...

Motorola used to sell a Privacy Plus consolette that had a feature that would make an announcement call to every fleet in the system. It had a special key to turn that on.
Our shop consokette didn't have a key, just a shorting plug made out of a 1/4 phone plug. Guess a ghetto tech job. Rarely used to announce system down times. By the way, what fun was it to force failsoft and then sit back and listen to all the confused chatter!

I was gonna start a thread for the lolz along the lines of...
"When applying 2135 hardware cipher decoder, the unit remains in the normal operating condition. The expected behavior is to be in an unsecure condition to facilitate system update..."

I remember those days. The controller would go down and then there would be tons of complaints rolling in. Keeping the 6809 controller happy with a SOLA "power conditioner', No UPS, was a huge joke. As FTR I stopped into one local shop because of controller problems and found an orange 50 foot extension cord to an outlet shared with a window air conditioner. Those were the days pre R56 and they were not pretty sites to be putting even a 5 channel system into.
