• 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 don’t have the DPD GMRS antenna, but I do have a DPD aviation Omni X antenna and a DPD ADSB antenna.
They are very well built and I have never had any problems with either one.
That being said I don’t think you will be unhappy with the GMRS antenna.

The specs say its 1/2 wavelength. You can do much better and the antenna is more important than the radio if your going for distance.

NMO's installed, while-u-wait.
mmckenna - Can you please provide an example or two, thanks.

Laird makes a couple. If you shop around, you can find them for the same price, or a bit cheaper.

Just make sure you are comparing dBi and dBi. Different companies use different references. dBd isn't the same as dBi.
