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.

it will just be a power cord, exactly like the one in your vehicle. you connect this to the proper sized power supply, see how much current your cb draws and buy a proper sized supply. i would figure it would take a 10 or 12 Amp supply at most, you want the power supply to be larger than required so the cb does not over tax it. of course, if you are running a linear amp you will need a much larger supply!

I have this set up for just your "out of the box" CB one that is not pulling any kind of Amps. It should work well for your set up mine has the banana style jacks as well as a cig lighter style plug. RadioShack 13.8VDC 15-Amp Power Supply (Refurbished) : Power Supplies | RadioShack.com
Just hook your power cord from the radio to the power supply and your set, and your antenna as well lol
