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.
Look at the new radio.

But I wonder if it will be a "budget" radio. Now if it was easy to program from the keypad, I'd buy it. One day, they'll figure it out.

Depends on whether you think $140 range is "budget".

For that radio. Yeah. I'll have to check it out.

that's a pretty cool looking radio, and "for real" dual band RX (not this band swapping crap), and part 90 (anyone know the FCC ID number?)...might not be a bad deal IF it has a decent front end like some of the TYT radios and is actually truly part 90.
Sure gives Yaesu a run for the money on the tired decade old design on the FT-60.
I'll wait until Brick posts a hands on review.

They might not last long if they are still using bad components like some of their other models.
