Thank you 🙂

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.

That is a quote from the FCC NOV mmckenna posted 19 ms before I did so he could get bragging rights.

Is that P-25? I'm looking at the ETSI docs for DMR and can't find any info about waiting for X number of slots pass.
Yes, for P25 Phase II.
We had one of those morons. He was a commercial vehicle enforcement clown and thought his job was the most important in the agency. Building search? Barricade? Armed robbery in progress? Officer needs help call? No call was too important for him to stop what he was doing, pack up his stop, and respond to help or start blathering about his traffic stop.
It got so bad that someone took his portable and clear coated the antenna stud, the antenna jack, and the battery/radio contacts to preclude his using his portable.

Oh brother.
Sort of like someone that has to respond in almost all threads. Sometimes with wrong information or just a “me too” ( or something like that).

Might have posted this before but it could save a tech some grief.
I had a mechanic on a race team bring a portable in for no TX, checked fine on the monitor. As I was screwing the antenna on to look at the spec an to see if the signal dropped as I flexed it (pre VNA days), I noticed it was the solid stud type but the radio was SMA.
Same diameter stud, made a nice little Faraday cage over the SMA.

I found a few of those at work when they were getting rid of some of the old HT-600's. Someone thought it would be a good idea to save the "extra antennas".
