• 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.

Never heard of them, but Stuart Electronics on Parsons Boulevard in Flushing, Queens, telephone 718 591-9700 Yes, speak with Peter he is a fountain of information and a personal friend. He IS a Very fair guy in term of honesty, and he knows scanner systems inside and out. Tell him John from Tampa, Fl. recommended him he'll get a kick out of that and yes he sometimes does have used scanners for sale, or knows someone who does. Happy Trails.

I have been communicating with him off and on for about a year, I was needing some radio equipment--ended up getting it elsewhere but he always responded promptly. Might want to check BBB as well as MOTO to see about his reputation.

Hello my name is Eduardo, I'm from Chile. I commented that I am at this moment, doing a deal with Allen Wong. Give me a couple of weeks to give my opinion on astroradios.com purchases. I have already sent the money on 20 December 2009, and am awaiting the shipment of equipment, so you can take this reference if you're from another country.
Greetings

Stuart Electronics

Hey Tampa, I remember Pete from the days of crystal scanners, Stuart was so huge back then, it took up three independant storefronts. It was the only place in Queens where you could double & even triple park on Parsons just north of Hillside without getting a ticket because all the mofs from every PD were there trying & buying too. I was up that way 3 years ago & Pete is still a character. Good man.

Recommendations from a client to the business of Allen Wong

I think the delay is due to the lack of information (not ask all the questions on my part, when it was made the deal). I can say that Allen has been concerned with giving me good service, moreover, makes a good care.

Greetings to all.

I would never send Allen Wong my radios. When sending some unknown person a $100-2000+ radio, I like to make sure it's been delivered with a signature confirmation.
I'm sorry, if your too dam lazy to go down to the post office to pick up packages from paying customers, your not getting my business.
A friend had a radio programmed by this guy, it was a complete mess. Another friend bought an Astro Saber 2 radio from Allen Wong, radio works perfect.

Direct quote from Allen Wongs Ebay auctions:

"You must include your email or ebay item number or some other identification with the radio. Or your radio will be lost !!!!!!

I don't make special trips into town to sign for packages so.....

Radios send by signature confirmation will come back to you."

In your page I see that says the good service, what little I've talked with, has offered much help.
I can only hope still, but I think everything will be fine. So in a couple of weeks will tell as he has gone.
Maybe your friend's failure is another problem.
Saludos a todos ....

Good service and attention, good business, I recommend buying in astroradios

I sensed a bit of rudeness from him when i was talking to him about some accessories but other then that everything else was fine. Just wishing he had what I wanted.
Today I got the machine to me to buy a astroradios, I see that the box is sending 2 weeks ago, so the delay was due to the mail service of my country.
It looks new, and the price cheaper than those on ebay, come all the accessories.
I've checked and noticed that this all right. It looks new, and the price cheaper than those on ebay.
So I recommend you all do business with astroradios (Allen Wong).

Ademas la atencion der astroradios es buena, pues he aprendido mas del tema que no conocia

I just bought a used PRO-96 from Alan at AstroCom from his web site. The item was delivered quickly and was exactly as described.

His prices are excellent. I picked up the PRO-96, which was in great shape, for $160.00 plus shipping.
