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.
Headsets? Question?!

Headsets are for intercom and radio access, derived from aviation type systems. Radio capabilities are usually restricted to the captain and/or the driver. The PTT button can be found on the headset itself, mounted on the dash, or a footswitch.

Heil Sound has head sets for both amateur radio use and professional use.
Look for a pushbutton switch on one of the ear cups. It may look like a black rubber disc about an inch in diameter. The switch is under that disc which is designed to keep water out of the switch and the ear cup.

When I was installing them, the customer usually specified a foot switch or "trigger" hand-held switch. The mics on the non-transmitting headsets are VOX activated intercom within the truck. The engineer would take his headset out to the control panel and plug in there to use the truck radio at the scene. He would either have the PTT on the ear cup or sometimes have a "PTT Ring" on his finger, just a switch on a velcro ring around a finger with the wires running under his bunker gear.
However I have not put a radio in a fire rig in quite a number of years now so your mileage may vary.
