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.

If you are talking about Open Sky then comercial radios are your ONLY choice for now. Plus you would need to get the radio programmed for the system that you wanted to listen to. Good luck in that respect finding somebody willing to do that.
If you are talking about ECPA Cell phones, then unless you work for some type of GOVERMENT AGENCY; forget it & and then you might have to have a wire tapping order (Although I fail to see how it would be WIRE Tapping since a bloominmg cell phone is NOTHING but a fancy two way radio so I FAIL to see how it is considered WIREtapping.) DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT a lawyer NOR do I play one on TV. The above stuff concerning radio cell phones might only apply to the good ole US of A since this is a FEDERAL Law that radio scanners cannot receive cell phones not can you import them unless you work for goverment and can PROVE IT.
Once again, the above is NOT legal advice. It is strictly posted for your reading enjoyment.
