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.

Are they all setup the same? If you had them withing 10 feet, can you talk back and forth?
If not then they need to be looked at to be sure they can talk to each other.

One thing to consider is that some people don't understand how to treat a radio. They'll often use the antenna as a handle, beat the snot out of it, etc. On some radios, not sure about these, it's common for the antenna mount to become separated from the circuit board. Result is that the radio works poorly.
Not saying it's the cause, but I've seen a lot of radios with this issue. No matter how many times you tell people to be careful with the radio, they still treat it like crap.
I also had a radio once that the amplifier transistor was toast. The radio put out about 30 milliwatts when keyed up. This one was brand new, so it was a factory issue. Sometimes a damaged or missing antenna can do this, or someone using a UHF antenna on a VHF radio, and vice/versa.
I agree with Cabletech, they probably need to be looked at closely.
