• 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 picked up a NMN6228c mic i am trying to figure out what the switch dose on the top of the mic. I know there an antenna port and I know it has noise cancellation but I can’t figure out what the switch dose.

Well, its intended for the Jedi series radios. There's a port on them on the side connector as well as the coax connection pins that goes up to the antenna port on the mic head. Otherwise it's a pretty self explanatory mic

I have a set of ht1000s I am using them on. Ok I just wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing any features they came with.

Is the antenna on the radio disabled when the mic is on it?

Yes,  somewhere I still have a picture of my MTS2000 with no antenna on it just the mic with an 800 stub. Worked well actually

Most HT1000s had an RF switch on the side, but 2 channel models made during the later period do not actually have the RF switch on the RF board. You can easily tell by putting the radio in RX mode (on say, a weather channel or keyed repeater) and press the plunger with a pen or other dull pointed object, if the receive drops or goes away, you have an RF switch, if not, the RF board has a factory installed jumper. (This applies to 2 channel HT1000s only)
