• 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.

What are you guys using for an earpiece with the XTS Commander II RSMs? I really do not want to keep spending $40 per unit from Ma M if there is a comparable unit on the market that will work with the indented jack. I have tried ear hugger and Omni without success. I have had guys buy some on amazon that work great on every other RSM BUT the commanders. I only have a handful of XTS radios in the system, but as you guys know, the jacks are different than the other brands.

J, the Commander II is a 3.5 mm jack. We have tried the "HYS" units from Amazon with the right end and it didn't reach deep enough to lock into place and stay connected.

Have you tried to take a razor blade and trim the plastic so it fits better into the slot?

Interesting.... I could have sworn it was 2.5mm. It's been years since i bought mine, but it was cheap and worked... Sorry.

All moto RSMs (with the exception of some apx mics) use 3.5mm ports. Harris mics use 2.5mm
