We are not against discussion of this issue.

These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation.

It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. Please respect this.Įffective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).This is a large and very visible forum. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. 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. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. 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). We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. 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. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules.

The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. 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.
