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.
NAC code verses CWID?

NAC for P25 is just like PL or DPL in the Analog days
CWID = the Morse Code transmission, usually in No PL Mode aka CSQ that some agencies/amateur and GMRS will perform behind the scene to ID the agency/users - not many FEDS do this

Getting tired of all the stupidity.
Another way to put it: NAC, Network Access Code, applies to P25 digital voice communications, and the NAC is the digital equivalent of CTCSS or PL codes. You will only hear the NAC coded transmission your radio is programmed to hear, while not hearing other transmissions that have different NAC codes.
CW ID is the analog morse code station identifier that is used to identify the transmitting station for purpose of FCC identification compliance. It's just station identification.
Technically speaking, not even police or federal users are exempt from station identification requirements so even public safety systems should be broadcasting station ID messages, whether in voice or CW mode, every so often, on each channel in use.
