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.

Be very careful with homemade or most after-market accessories that are for programming Motorola radios, especially the XTS/XTL series radios. It won't take much of a glitch or some signal/data interruption or interference during a programming procedure to brick the radio. If it was not engineered or assembled by Motorola, I would think twice before using it.
Those pins being right out in the open like that gives me anxiety.
Appears it would work well to program as long as the radio is not setup to require ignition. I guess for guys who have it on their desk and program often it may be of calue. I just order the read USB setup for mine.
Why, is your cell phone no different?
No....my cell phone does not have a bunch of little pins sticking out of it
Interesting, I viewed the item then received an "offer" of a 12% discount.

I can see your point, but it could technically give 12vdc by way of Power Delivery handshake. The latest tech is PD programmable...voltage resolution down to 0.02 volts.
Does this gadget have it? No clue, but pin 25 is populated.
It's not like it will be bouncing around. I would wager this is a solution for a desk radio that has no need for ignition sense and Hammy/Monitor types given the 3.5mm speaker jack. Plug it in the back of the radio, and viola! - there are no pins sticking out.
