• 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'm just trying to figure out if Basestationsupply.com is a legitimate website. Prices are listed at 50-60% of everybody else. Has anybody purchased from this site? Thanks.


This right here should raise a red flag:
Our customer service is available 24/7. Call us at (555) 555-0123.

Not a valid phone number. So, either someone used a canned website and didn't bother to change the default, or really doesn't want anyone to call for customer service.

That alone would indicate, to me, that you are at high risk of getting hosed on any purchases you make.

This release of Magento was done in Nov. 2017, and they are currently on v. 2.3.5ish.

Look at that copyright date...

this looks shady af.

I was bored and used one of my burner emails to ask them if they were legit, and that their website looks shady...can't wait for the response.

On top of that, I like how the website hasn't had it's index picture changed Screenshot

Ok, thanks for the reviews, I think I'm not going to risk it. I sent an email 2 days ago, they haven't replied yet.
