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.

Depending on skill level, it could most likely be fixed

Oh yes I made it so I could have fixed it. Guess I got tired (I’m old) of building and testing antennas. I’ve got a 4 element manufactured antenna up there now.
I had a scantenna st 2 break (thread here) and got lucky enough to get it back up with a small hose clamp for the time being. End goal is to drill out the rivets, insert longer rod (on both elements for added strength) and rivet back together. For the one that broke in the pic, I am planning on trying some conductive epoxy inside and ditching the hose clamp. Other stuff got in the way and its on the back burner with 50 other things..

Build your own AntennaCraft ST2 Scantenna
I've received some great feedback on my post for building a Monitenna. I've also received a couple of requests for similar plans for a Scantenna. I don't own one. So, the next best thing is to build my own (I refuse to pay eBay prices). I have scoured the internet and download a ton of photos...

This will give an idea of how easy it is to build one. It was fun and performed well.
