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.įor 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.

The audio with the stock speaker is outstanding.

The remote head will fit nicely in a DIN stereo hole in your car. I consider this model one of the last real p ublic service grade radios that big M made. 14 char alpha display, zones, multiple PL tones, and a radio that you know will last you decades. What you will end up with is a killer mobile VHF rig that puts out 60w on low power and 110 on high. The software can be found on the net or bought off ebay for about $30.

If you don't have the parts laying around then that will be about $50 if you have the computer. If you want to program yourself you'll need to get the right equipment, not expensive if you hack at it, a 32bit win XT box with a real RS-232 port, a Motorola RIB (radio interface box) and the right cable for the MCS2000.
