• 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 got this from Amazon for half of this price.

I can fit a QT-60Pro, a Xiegu G90 with fan base, a Retevis RT95, and an SDS200 in it with room left for a laptop and plenty of accessories. It worked great during my move to Dallas.

Hell, I could fit a V1 Q5 & KL503 in that thing.

Great choice!

Ah, but the problem is that most don’t care.

Sad but true.

But showing a man how good it can be AND how bad it can be sounds like informed consent (I tried ol' buddy).


Might need to make a trip in someone else’s vehicle someday. So putting together a SlipSeater Box is a to-do list item. (Can go on seat or floor).

This is what I meant by radio "kit"

Something like a parred down version of your erector set (more compact, but still plenty potent).

A kit built to suit my ends, so not to be a waste of resources (but one that also serves as a hasty example).

"Let's take a ride, and you turn on that splatter box you call a radio."

"That sounds pretty rough partner. What you get out of that thing? Couple three miles?"

With everything together, and everything choked up best as can be without sacrificing simple deployment.

Plug. Clamp. Plop.

"Now listen to this..."

Maybe a dozen men don't take the bait (but the one that does is now chasing better comms, and he's in my AO).

He's now an asset, and I his.

"Here comes 'possum, that ol' CB Evangelist!"
