• 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 am extremely hot right now!

It's very important to know your seller. When you're looking to bid on an item, check out the seller's feedback. Check any recent auctions that he has put up that you can access, too, via the feedback profile page. See if he usually sells this kind of equipment and if there are any negative feedbacks left
for him about them.

Generally, I won't buy from anyone who has anything less than a 98 percent feedback rating. That
may sound like a high standard, but the truth is that any reputable seller will easily hit this kind of
rating, or better.

I'm at 100 percent, myself, with a score of 330 and climbing. I sell more than I buy.

I operate the same way! Even that does not guarantee much of anything. The first seller had a 100% rating and previous buyers of the same model with good feddback. I am not going to go into it anymore than that so it does not become a rant. Nonetheless, I have real high hopes for this second purchase. I am making a real informed purchase this time and I am happy about that.....
