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.

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. The pictures were confusing, but seeing your other comments, as well as other posters, it makes more sense what you are asking.For the Model 2 and 3 radios, that don't have the internal speaker, it's common to have the speaker leads coming out of the 25 pin connector on the radio to a matching Molex type connector on about 6 inches of wire. You'd connect your external speaker there. Looks like someone either cut the leads off, or you got the accessory connector from a Model 1, etc.Using the proper pins to make the connection on the 25 pin connector is recommended. It might be easy to find something that can jam in there and work, but messing up the connector on the radio end isn't something you want to do.
Since they are regular DB25 connectors, you should be able to make this work with parts from Radio Shack, or just find the connector with the speaker leads already installed.You can purchase pre-made cables from E-bay:E-Bay user MRE1032 has been around for a long time and is a trustworthy seller. I've purchased from him before with good results. Power-upHi there people!Today i`ve got an Motorola GM1200 UHF in my hands, and the seller told me there is a short needed between two of the DB25 pins, just tu make it power-up. Unfortunately he couldn`t remember which ones, as i started to suspect malfunctions or even dead unit. The good part is that was real cheap unit.
Can someone help me indicate if the issue is real and which pins do i have to short? That transceiver doesn`t have an internal speaker so I need to hookup an external one? I have no ptt-mike either, so can i modify an Midland PTTmike to an ordinary UTP connector to do the job?Thank you alot!VictorYO4TNV.
