Do you have a spare one you'd sell me?

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 do not. New London Technology has them. But only the mic/data side. Also order the Keypad flex as they are mis labeled on the website and you will get the wrong flex.

Thanks! I called them to make sure and was able to order the correct part. She only referred to them as the long boomerang and the short boomerang. It seemed like the long one was the actual keypad flex and the short one was the mic/data flex, so I told her the short one.
For those interested, with muchly appreciated help from NLT, 2 weeks later, I have new knobs, black front housing, rear assay plate etc. I've completed the change out - it was easier than first thought. I have one of the original versions of the 100P, thus my flex cables were treated with the utmost care. I left them plugged into the main board and reinforced them with masking tape prior to popping them out of the sides. For those in Australia - NLT can help, just reach out to them.
The advice provided earlier, in this forum, was very useful - thank you to those who contributed. The only thing I'd change is probably what was said earlier - leaving the RF plugged into the board in its u.fl connector - it was a pain to get back on.
I've taken a bunch of pictures of the internals etc. To be honest, I'm too lazy to put together a comprehensive guide, but if I can do it using the notes from previous posts, anyone can. The hardest part was putting the new knobs on - more so thinking I was going to break the posts. I found the best way was to 1) volume first and then channel selector. 2) push the knobs down onto the posts but pushing the top of the knobs into something flat - I used the edge of my desk and then pushed the bottom of the radio.
I've attached a zip file with all of the pictures I took.
Here is the before and after. Black is def' much nicer looking. The keyboard is no longer sticky!
If anyone has any questions - give me a yell
Here are the NLT part #s I used to refurb the unit:
The items crossed out were the handheld speaker/mic and an extra concentric knob which I didn't need.
