• 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.

I understand that there are bluetooth headsets available for the LPE (possibly other radios as well) ... has anyone seen such a thing and know where these might be available from.

In order to use a BT headset with a scanner, the scanner has to be BT compatible. If the LPE is, then any BT headset will work. If it's not, you need the Jabra A-210 Bluetooth adapter and, probably, a 3/32"-to-1/8" adapter, so you can pluf it into the headset jack of the radio. I use mine with a couple of headsets, with my Pro-95, BCD396 or my cordless phones, and I love it.

BlueTooth adapters have been around for about five years for Motorola top tier radios.
They work great, but security is an issue. The Bluetooth link is NOT secure!!

He's talking about a radio not a scanner. I have not heard of any bluetooth capability for any radio.
M/A-COM is showing it ion one model.

Which model? I'm interested.

About a 1000 booths at APCO, and you want me to remember!

I just did a Google and did not see any references to a particular model, so the demo might have been just to show the concept.

All IP series of M/A-Com radios are capable of having a BT device attached.
