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.

Existing Tower Evaluation
I have an existing 30 ft antenna tower that came with my property. I'm looking to mount a Comet CA 712-EFC on it for UHF (GMRS) base station. Here are my questions: Once I remove all of the existing leftover antennas and components, I will have a top to the tower that looks similar to this...

I figure them (12) “girls” are somewhere north of 3,600-lbs. 4,000 wouldn’t surprise me.
Orta be 1,500 assuming they’re 5’5” tall.
Everyone needs a base station.
And a steel-framed locked pantry door.

two tons of fun right there
We hauled off 12 head last weekend.
Total net weight to the sale ring was 8,050 (the ol' 7.3 can handle 'em).
Used the QT60 as a slip seater with the Tram up top.
Had to get that Tram as far away from that steel stock trailer as possible to clean up the SWR (almost to the windshield on roof top got it down to 1.3).

how did the Tram 3500 work for you?? were you able to talk a decent distance with it? it may not work as far as a skip shooter, but it sure is simple to slap on the roof and it seems to get decent range for me.
I can handle a bad review, so how do you like it?

We had a hauler lined up that fell through at the last minute, so this was indeed a last minute "slap 'er in" job.
Cigarette lighter for DC with no line filter. No coax chokes. No bonding/grounding work. (no apples to apples here).
Worse yet, the weekend truck traffic here is pretty lite (and most of those trucks are pulling for Sam Walton, ergo, no radio).
Audio check with local base contacts said I was as clean and clear as always, but noticable quieter (the closer ones were as boomy as ever on my end, but some that are farther out, that I normally hear fine, were down in my noise floor and hard to make out).
I called for a radio check when I got to London, KY (major N-S to E-W intersection) and a driver said it was working.
I made up a little story about trying to set echo with no TalkBack to try and drag some details on the audio out of him, but he left it at, "sounds good driver."
Another guy broke it to tell me, "yur gettin' own driver! 'bout blow'd my win-ders out! Good soundin' radio!"
I was within a 1/4 mile of him, with him parked up at the truck stop and me rolling West bound. I only made it about three and a half miles past the BP before I was loosing him, but that stock trailer is like a brick wall behind me.
For a 60 second install it served the purpose, but I sure was glad to get back under that Predator 10k.
Friday of this week I ran that same route and got a mobile to mobile contact that was 12 miles ahead of me and held him til he was 8 miles behind me.
He was running the Stryker 955 and a permanent mount Stryker antenna on top of a bobtail Pete.
On flatter ground we might have made it a few more miles, but I was grinning big
Again, no apples to apples

“. . a mobile-to-mobile contact that was 12-miles ahead of me in the other direction and held him til he was 8-miles behind me.
He was running a Stryker 955 and a permanent-mount Stryker antenna on top of a bobtail Pete.”
Here’s the chrome shop version of the back-of-sleeper Pete mount.
Fairly rare I’ve see anyone put one on the actual roof as it’s hard to reach for service & repair.
Is this what was meant?

thank you
my Tram always works pretty good for me,
every time I get someone having trouble with an antenna ( usually some kind of fiberglass antenna ) I let them try out one of my spare Trams and talk to them on my Base... we always get great distance........... when they come back, to return the Tram. they usually tell me they are done with whatever antenna they had been playing with. ( meaning they will buy a Tram)
but I hate to recommend it if it's not working too good... I was starting to think it was all my big Base... that and those crappy fiberglass antenna's make the Tram look FANTASTIC
... I am starting to loan out my Stryker SAR-10, now that it can be bought at Walmart for $99 with free shipping... and I'm really impressed with it... I didn't think it would be that much noticeable difference between the two.... but there is..... only problem that Stryker is one big ugly in your face antenna... the tram is hardly noticeable on the roof of a pick-up..... if that Stryker wasn't screaming LOOK AT ME just sitting on the roof... when that foolish blue light comes on, it really looks like the carnival is in town!
