• 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.

Anything new on the horizon?

Thinking more about this. Although a base mobile/base version most likely isn't in the cards, a mobile cradle for a G4/G5 might be an option. The G4/G5 would sit in the cradle, with connections for an external antenna, power and external speaker. Similar to an amplified base, but without the speaker and amp.

I'm planning on buying an amplified base after I get my G4, but it would be hard to mount the amplified base in my SUV. There's just not enough real estate for something like that and I don't want it tumbling around the passenger seat.

At least dreams are still free..... :ROFLMAO:
Touche! And even that would be something I would be okay with. Think Motorola Convertacom.

I can't find it right now, but I've read of guys taking the normal base charger stand and adding antenna connections from that to a connector on the back of the charging base. That stand is somewhat smaller and also would eliminate the amp section and speaker that comes with the amplified base and might be easier to find a place to mount. Somewhere on here someone posted a pin out of the terminals on the bottom of the pagers but again, I just can't find it at the moment.
