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 force feed them a 6 mode codeplug and gently pull up the top decal to liberate the stop, works every time.
I think I have a small handful of 6 channel escutcheons if anybody wants any. New old stock, still good.

What do you want for them?
I would love to have them.

I could use one, plus a volume control escutcheon if you have one.

I used one about 20 years ago when I did security in a 26 bldg subsidized rent apartment complex. That thing was a brick survived a few altercations with trespassers etc. I still have it somewhere it’s useless for me now as I don’t do gmrs but I bet if I slapped a fresh battery on tomorrow she would power right up.

They were great radios in the day, but not broad banded. Mine was tuned to 440-450 ham freq’s. Worked great. But every year when the fair came to town, I’d be on their 468 freq’s working in the parking lot. The fair didn’t have enough radios to go around, so we were told to use our radios. But it’d be pretty deaf at 468, so I’d retune it. Simple, & took a minute. After the fair leaves town, retune back to ham freq’s. I told a buddy who worked for Motorola in Plantation, so I met him there on a Saturday, & we went to his work station where he retuned it to work well at 440, & 468. It was a compromise, but seemed to work OK on both. Today with the newer radios doing the entire UHF band, I won’t even waste money buying a battery for the radios I still have. Oh, the volume, & channel knobs have disintegrated into a white dust years ago.
For a few bucks you can get new replacement HT600/MT1000 knobs on ebay. Chinese made but from what I've seen the quality is good and they are made of a material that won't turn to wax like the urethane formulation Motorola used.
I'll dig out those escutcheons next time I get down to my storage unit. And let you know here when that's done. Or PM me.
