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.

If you mean P25 radio manufacturers, not scanners, most if not all of them are listed at Membership Directory
Sorry, radios NOT scanners lol. Thanks.
Hi:
We currently have been using P25 digital radios (VHF) for the past 3 years (both digital mode & analog-narrowband mode) for disaster relief efforts, which is what we do full-time.
We started using the Vertex VX-P924 portable & VX-7000 mobile radio. They are awesome! Though we bought some Kenwood TK-5210 portable, and TK-5710 mobiles - and tried them both out for several months, and we like the Kenwood better than the Vertex, but I rate them both equal in audio quality. The Vertex doesn't have caller ID (receive) as well as MDC-1200 PTT ID decode, but has encode (outbound). The Kenwood does have MDC1200 inbound & outbound, as well as you can add in an "alias list" so it shows an alpha tag -vs- jsut the MDC1200 PTT ID number.
So I would highly recommend both - the Vertex & the Kenwood. Below are their websites so you could view the radio specs:
