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 have. Same connector, doesn't seem to be any issues with the skirt on the antenna keeping it from making proper contact.
OK, so which would you use... a xpr or xts antenna?

XTS antenna, or an MTS antenna. I used to have a Motorola Type 2 system here at work with about 350 radios on it. Most were Motorola MTS2000s, some where XTS2500 and we had some EFJ 5100's. The antennas were all interchageable.
I don't know about the XPR antennas, other than a brief trial with did with MotoTrbo, I haven't had much experience with them. I think some of those had a GPS antenna function in them, so not 100% sure the antennas are fully compatible. I'm sure someone here knows.

Hang on a few minutes, I'm sure a moderator will be along to bust us all for attempting to offer for sale, or attempting to purchase, antennas.
Why would you say that?
I see no mention of selling, buying or anything like that. :roll:
I moved this to the Industry Discussion forum and deleted off topic posts.
