• 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.

It’s all good. I’ve heard good reviews from Power Products so I was very disappointed that my first go-round with them was a negative experience.

Also - is this Jim N7MAQ from Batlabs ? If so - I’m MT_2000 Man from Batlabs and I bought a mint XTS5000R from you around 2009-2010. I still have that radio - and it’s still mint like when you gave it to me.
And I still have the MINT UHF Astro Saber from the same time frame that I got from MT2000 man who got it from N7MAQ. The one that was upgraded from a model 2, to a model 3.

N7MAQ! Good to see you back on here, buddy!

I've been thinking about picking up one of these for my 8000:

H7038-Li-IM2: High Capacity
I have a GTS battery on my xts3000. Don’t know how old it is - but it still lasts 16+ hours on a single charge. If you get it - let us know how it goes and if it cycles good - actually drains the full battery - I’ll order one too.

I can vouch for PP as well. We have sold hundreds of their batteries with very few problems, and whenever we've had problems they take care of them. We also have a few of the Motorola richcomm batteries out, but the fit doesn't seem as good as OEM or PP.
