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.

Pin 1 and Pin 16 on the rear connector.

You can purchase the connectors from e-Bay. I'd recommend a seller with the screen name of MRE1032, I've purchased from him and had a good experience.
Here's the connector/cable you'll need:

Adding a big Motorola external speaker to these radios really makes them sound good.

Thanks for the awesome fast reply, that was cool and much appreciated. So I just take that bridge device, slide it onto the correct pins..solder the speaker wires onto the pig tails and boom?
And here is the whole speaker already setup for that radio. I have several of these and they work great.

That might be a good option.
I've got some similar style OEM speakers from Kenwood fed off an NX-700 and NX-900 in my work truck. Plenty loud enough, and have stood up well over many years.
I really do prefer these speakers, though:

They are really loud if you are in a high noise environment. They also have a really nice deep bass tone to them that really helps with speech intelligibility in high noise environments. I'm using these fed by a VHF CDM-750 on a Polaris Ranger UTV. Even while flying down a logging road at 35MPH with a full face helmet on, I can still clearly hear radio traffic. In fact, when stopped, I have to turn the radio down or it'll hurt your ears.
Either way, getting an external speaker on these radios really helps. The stock speakers work pretty well, but they are kind of small for any location with background noise.
