• 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've held just about every kind of commercial, and consumer grade radio and scanner on the market, except a Unication pager, and a BK KNG-P800. I'm here in Austin, TX / Central Texas and 90% of society operates on the GATRRS system. I would really like to get into a commercial radio that can effectively monitor this system with the specific talkgroups I want, true RX only Non-Affiliate type setup, and these two seem to be the very upper echelon of suggestions I'm finding. I'm not terribly interested in dealing with motorola NAS, risky and not as effective, so that lands me here; Has anyone had experience with either of these devices in the central Texas area, and what do you suggest? I'm willing to pull together the $750+/- for a used P800 and get the software and cable for it, if it's a worthwhile investment.

OR, If anyone in anyone in the area already has the software and cable for the P800 and can help me get one loaded up so I can decide if I want to invest in the software and more rigs.....

Thanks
