• 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.

How Do You Carry Your Two Way Radio On Your Person?

I did a did of quick searching and there are a lot more available than I anticipated. Several hold two radios and some of those have other pouches for GPS, cell phone, etc.

I am ever so tempted to get the High Visibility Radio Vest for when I am out horseback riding. However, I think I am better off getting the two items separate from one another. Specifically, a high visibility orange vest and a separate radio chest pack. It actually isn't a bad idea, though. Also, I have been looking for a vest with LED lights. There are good ones, which are expensive, and inexpensive ones, which don't last. I may have to just "suck it up" and get a good one, even if it isn't cheap!

Holy crap. A revolver. Really? Do you still listen to 8 track tapes and use a rotary dial telephone, too?

(I kid, I kid...hopefully no offense is taken.)

No offense taken, I feel that if you need more than 6 rounds of 357 magnum, you are either a poor marksman or a terrorist.
And i have a AR15 with a EOTech for that.

Anybody use a leather case with a swivel when carrying their radios when off duty?
Yes actually that is my preferred carry method of my radio's when I wear a belt. I have a Motorola leather swivel holster (NNTN4115A) best $30 I have spent :D . In the winter I either clip my radio to my jacket pocket located front left chest or I wear a radio strap. In the warmer months I wear the radio clipped to my belt on my left side and a speaker mic either running up to my sweatshirt or behind my back and clipped to my shirt in the front. I almost always carry a speaker mic as it is very convenient. I have considered the chest harness for some events and it is probably a good idea however I have yet to try it out.
