• 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.

Motorola Mark 12

Sounds like the /\/\otorola mobile phone from the '70's.

The IMTS phone cmdrwill pictured is a VHF model. Later, Motorola introduced a UHF model with an all solid state transceiver that was about the same size.

They also offered the same transceiver for two-way applications as the Motran Mark 12. It came with a control head similar in appearance to Motrac & Mocom 70 heads.

Maybe that's what Zipper666 has - the control head & mic

Later was the PULSAR and PULSAR II model phones. These were all pretty nice products . But getting a phone number was difficult.

I had one. It went thru a service, the dialing wasn't too swift. If was basically a VHF radio. You had to wait for a free channel and the operator would call you back to pick up a certain line.
Mine was push to talk.
Best for its day.

Wow. Old memories. I used a VHF ex taxi radio which I re crystaled to the JL mobile phone freq. In Montreal where I lived, we‘d key the mike for a few seconds, & the overseas operator in Montreal would dial the number for us. It worked very well.
