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.

Well the HR2510 is a 10 meter radio and puts out near 40 watts
Hello 70 cst: Give it a try over the air to other stations and see what the mic's sound like and compare to each other. That's part of the fun in the radio hobby.
When I install a new mic I turn up the mic gain just enough to make the S/RF Meter to start moving.

Used a Cobra power mike on my HR 2510 for years! Works great.

I had an HR 2510 with an Astatic 575 m6 & a Wilson 1000 on my truck for years & it talked anywhere the big base units were talking when the skip was rolling, fine combination. It also set off car alarms that were near when I keyed.

The 2510 is the better radio if it was set up correctly.

I also had a Cobra Power Mic on my 2510..still works but is relegated to storage...not many people to talk to up here in the woods...
Everyone keeps saying the side plug mic Cobra is better than the front mount mic models. Let me add to that please. This further depends on where and when it was made. You want the older Japanese or Philippines models with the *5 Pin* plug. There were some models with 4 pins on the side a year or three before they went front mount. So look close before you reach for your wallet.
