Here we go again!

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.

Yep, that was the Commercial user that started the whole 220 MHz take away.. But, by the time the FCC took any action, UPS moved on to other technologies...

Yeah, that was much recollection. I think they went with a 900MHz system, at least locally I know that's what they were doing locally for a while.

When I stated in 2 way ACSB was just starting to be offered, our first and maybe only client was the Signal Companies in La Jolla. I think we had repeaters on Palomar and Otay to cover San Diego county. Don't recall who made the radios, we were a GE, Maxon and Midland dealer, I don't think they made ACSB, maybe Standard?

I know SEA was a big name in 220MHz for a while.
Hello,
Aerotron and SEA made ACSSB radios. Motorola made FM and Passport LTR radios.

BNSF uses it in my area for PTC.
2-Morrow electronics of Salem, Or. made some 220MHZ AND 156MHZ prototype digital radios that were briefly tried out by a state agency here in Oregon just prior to UPS purchasing us in the early/mid 2000's and forming UPS-AT (AVIONICS Technology) which was the company that stole the lower end of 220-222 MHZ ham band until GARMIN PURCHASED UPS-AT and put and end to that nonsense.
Unfortunately the damage was already done by UPS-AT and to this day there are still some remaining 2-MORROW engineer/hams whol are still mad at UPS for what they did to 220.
I still have some of the 220 and 156 MHZ power amps, isolators and other infrastructure equipment in my engineering cabinet untouched after 15+ years.
