• 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.

A nice feature to more modern/higher tier radios is the ability to program owner/contact info directly into them. I use this feature at work. I also program them to show radio owner/ID on power up.

You can also use label makers they last a while also and have a raised lettering. Cheap alternative
SOME have raised lettering. Many don't and those can wear off. I have two label machines and neither produced raised lettering. Their lettering is clear and there are many options for fonts, symbols, spacing, etc. Nonetheless, they only last a year or so under normal handling. For labeling stationary objects (shelves, bins, etc.) they'll last a million years, give or take a few.

can you give a link to the more modern versions? I guess I have not used one of those yet.

The P-Touch series of labelers work well, for many things. I have used a few that take the TZ tapes, but not these edge series.
