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.

Ive had a few Uniden CB radios they are a good built radio for everyday use they have held up well in my truck and we do alot of off road driving in landfills .What are your plans for use ? work travel fun ect ?.The 78 elite is a good radio with some of the featuers I would like in my work truck weather radio built in SWR and the illuminated front is a good feature for nite driving .If and what ever you get spend a little money on a good antenna like a Wilson or K40 and not one of those $10 garbage antenna's .With a good quality antenna your signal will be better .
I drive a tri-axle dump truck, do a lot of night work. I went to my local CB shop looking to get a Cobra LTD29 NW but they were out of stock. I took Uniden® Bearcat PC78 Elite.
I've alway had Cobra LTD's they do take a bumpy ride with me and have always fulfilled my needs. It was time for an upgrade so I wanted a faceplate that was illuminated. I use a Wilson 2000 antenna.
Thanks for the reply.
