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 don't want to risk hitting a power line or pipe in the wall or cutting holes, MFJ makes an adapter that fits in a normal window. MFJ-4601 or MFJ-4602 are the model numbers in the online catalog. You would want to devise some type of lock so the window wouldn't become and easy entry into the house.

MFJ-4602 Antenna Feedthrough Panel Product Reviews
Not the best product to buy.
I used a stud finder that also detected A/C power. All my A/C power on the wall I drilled in was ran vertically along a stud.. You can see a color mark in my pictures where I marked the studs. I went one stud over from the stud that had the electrical wires running down it. Its not like we are mixing rocket fuel here. . .
