• 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 am working on a radio interface for our fire departments SCBA's and need to find a lower cost source for the external mic connection on the TK-2180 than my present scheme of cutting up a regular external mic to get the connector and cable.

Does anyone have any other sources for the mating connector and cable? I need about 25 - 30 of these.

You can order a replacment cord with connector for the kmc-25. They are like 40.00 per but still cheaper than buying a complete kmc-25.

You can buy and aftermarket surveillance mic with listen capability. They'll be even cheaper and you might be able to find away to interface them directly.

You might check with Otto and see what they get for replacement cord. I would only use a commercial grade cable (OEM, or Otto) and not any kind of adapter, or eBay crap. The adapters are prone to getting dirt into them, and on interior operations they WILL get wet and the adopters will not keep water off of you acc convector. For your use and someones life, do not cut corners.
