• 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.

Has anyone ever tried to get their shoes to pass ESD test?

Ok,this might be in the wrong forum but it is a industry question.
Has anyone tried to modify a pair of shoes to pass an ESD (electronic static discharge) test?
I'm trying to save a bit of money by experimenting with an existing pair of shoes so that I can get them to pass. ESD shoes are well over $100 if you can find them to begin with.
We have anti-static straps we wear but they are a pain and tend to slip, so grounding the soles with a braid or wire of sorts with the inside is the task at hand.
Any ideas out there?

Thanks! :)

Are you currently using heal straps?


When I worked for Kimball Electronics,we would wear esd heal straps on our shoes in conjunction with use of wrist strap or waist strap.

Here is one:

ESD wrist straps $2.97 / ESD heel straps $3.30

ESD shoes

Even if I was wearing ESD shoes, my companies still required me to use heel straps.
The reason was to give our customers the warm feeling that we cared!
