• 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.

I have two Radio Shack TRC-232, 5 watt, 40 channel, Walkie Talkies that I would like to sell. I believe these were “top of the line” radios when they were offered by Radio Shack back in the 90’s. Some of the features are as follows:

• Auto-scan searches out active channels
• Dual watch allows you to monitor a channel for activity while listening to another
• Hi/lo power switch
• Built-in speaker and mike
• Illuminated LCD channel display
• Up/down channel selector
• Keyboard lock prevents you from accidentally changing channels
• Ceramic filter
• Squelch control
• Flexible antenna with BNC connector
• Automatic noise limiter
• External antenna and charger jacks
• Low-battery indicator
• RF input power: Hi 5 watts Lo 2.5 watts
• RF output power: Hi 4 watts Lo 1 Watt
• Mike jack
• Includes UL listed 12VDC car cord
• Also operates on 6 alkaline (not included) or 9 nickel cadmium (included) rechargeable “AA” batteries

The nine nickel cadmium rechargeable “AA” batteries included have not been tested and I can’t seem to find the charger which I purchased separately. Charger is NOT included. I will include the charger if I come across it before I ship. I believe the chargers are still available at Radio Shack. I placed alkaline batteries (not included) in the unit and tested it with my other TRC-232 and it appeared to work fine. I must have used these a bit judging by the wear marks and scratches (nothing excessive) on the units.

Before I put them on eBay, I thought I would offer them on here. Google “Radio Shack TRC-232” to see what they are and some pics. I have them all packed away in their original boxes and don’t want to unpack them if I don’t have to. They are both complete units with direction books. $25 each + shipping. I may be able to get more for them on eBay, but I would rather offer them here first.
