• 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.

Well then please explain to me what's being said in this review on eham.net about solid state HF Ham Rigs:

Okay, much of the problem stems from two things. The first is the microphone. It sounds just as bad on FM as it does on AM because the mic is focused more for keeping the bandwidth on SSB under 3k. Second is operators take it out of the box adjusting the factory settings for their voice and operating conditions. Put a full range mic and tweak the AM level settings in the menu. I'll bet you will find a surprising difference in the transmitted AM audio.

In the link you posted KB1QH said "The fcc is crazy they want every one to stay on side band i guess this is why they build low level audio solid state ham radios." Then a little farther down K4KWH adds "Um, not to get into any argument at all, but a 706 WILL give quite satisfactory results on AM! I do it on a regular basis, and I own two 706 MKIIG's." One of them knows what the problem is, the other knows what the problem is and how to work around it.

So there you have it.
