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.
Unication G5 Antenna For 800 Mhz Band

Maybe we should make a list of the compatible antennas on the wiki
Is it easy to open the unit and push the pin back up?
not really, i used a tiny pair of needle nose pliers and gently put it back in, seems to work fine

What holds the pin in? Some kind of friction socket type thing?
Isn't the other side of that pin connected to either a circuit board or a component?
I don’t think so, I was a dummy and put a moto antenna on it before reading this, it pulled the pin out, no indication of a solder joint at the base
You just placed the pin back into the hole ? How did you know the correct depth ? and worked normal after.
Trial and error lol
And really really gently
It works fine as I can tell
I just need to pull the pin up about a millimeter or 2 so I'll give it a shot
Thank you
I apologize if this has been covered already - I'm looking into getting a Unication G4 and have just started studying the threads on this forum.
Looking at the picture of the Unication antenna here, the Unication's SMA connector looks very similar to the connector used on my Kenwood HTs.
If that's the case, a KRA-32 or KRA-36 would work.

You are correct the Kenwood antennas will work on the G4 and G5. I have both a G4 and G5 and use the Kenwood antenna on them.
Is there any trimming of the rubber skirt necessary to achieve a good fit? How is the performance compared to the Unication stubby?
Yes you do have to trim the skirt on the bottom of the antenna and the reception is excellent.
Answered back at post #60 in this thread among others.
Unication G5 Antenna For 800 Mhz Band
yeah don't use a Motorola antenna, very very bad, the pin can be fixed but you have to be really careful
So, I picked up the Kenwood KRA-32K 700/800 MHz antenna, trimmed the skirt as needed, and find that it performs on a par with the Remtronix/RS 800 antenna I had been using with an adapter. It also looks like it was made for the G5.
how does it handle the center pin?
