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 know it's not the same but I recently got a Motorola swivel holster for my 6550 and I am not too thrilled about the fit either. It seems loose and it doesn't seem to fit the radio just right. Maybe it's the new leather stiffness or maybe it's just the weird design of the holster. It's possible that since the 6550 has a weird design the holster just doesn't sit right. Can you post a picture of it?
Leather looks thin and flimsy.
Yes but then really never use the keypad when in case.
well you can adjust the straps. And actually just tightened them (adjusted the knot)
but if u order a case from Motorola this is what u get!

It's made by Boston Leather not Motorola. Generally speaking, I have been very happy with Motorola cases.
Are you using a slim battery or extended battery with the 6550? That might have something to do with the fit.
Have a Leather craft guy or holster maker build a custom one
