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.

Their were some charts at the factory for various models, but good luck finding that today. I can probably tell you when certain models were brought out. What model? US made or import?
Thanks for the reply. I have quite a few. For example a pace 166 had a 23 and 40 channel model. The 23 I beleive was introduced in 1975 and some time in the late part of 1976 to early 1977 changed to the 40 channel units. I'm in hopes of finding data to break down the serial numbers to the actual month of manufacture. Would be nice to know how many units were build too. This may be a pipe dream unless I can find someone that worked there and/or has in their possession production documents.
Aah yes, the CB-166. I worked at Pace back then and one of the engineers upstairs (Laslo Hirsch of 147.435 fame) called me up to see a new prototype he received and it was the CB-166. He had already hacked it and had the mobile mount on it holding an array of switches to take it way out of band. I got one as soon as the first shipments arrived at the factory and it was a good little radio for that time. That would probably have been late 1975. I think the mfr was Kokusai or something similar.
The best way to see when it was made is date codes stamped on the internal parts and they will have a week/year thing, like 4875 would be the 48th week of 1975. Try and find the latest date on a part and the radio was probably made shortly after that.
