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.
Identify this antenna?

Some kind of VHF antenna possibly, from the length, but never saw one mounted on a telephone pole.
Collinear or coaxial. Definitely VHF for railroads.

In this region you still see a lot of the Decibel Products DB205 sleeve antenna, which this looks like just with an abnormally long top whip portion. I couldn't find a picture, but the "normal" look for this antenna is in the cutting chart.

I'm pretty good with the odd antennas but I can't pin this one down. Judging on its length vs a 1/4 wave skirt I think its a stacked 3 element colinear with a 1/4 wave skirt instead of ground radials.
That's EXACTLY the antenna I was thinking of, but I've only seen them in low band configuration. They are huge.
