• 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.

Is it hard to install a scanner(like my Pro 2096)? I want to be able to use it for both home and truck use(take it out after I'm done with it),with it being installed in dash to replace my crappy cassette player. Any help or even a link would be appreciated.

If crappy cassette player is din size and the 2096 din sleeve can be used, install sleeve and use din keys to remove scanner. This may require using an external speaker but my 2067 then 2096 and now 600 were/is loud enough to use without ext speaker. You will also need sufficient leads for antenna and power cables to extend outwards during removal.

If you need a sleeve, I have 2 and will be happy to send you one for shipping cost only via USPS. (maybe 5 bucks)

My installs are more permanent without din sleeve in 2001 Saturn LW.
