• 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.

Every time I try logging into the FCC license search section of tbe DB, it seems to be booting me to this link

https://www.fcc.gov/blog/modernizing-fcc-s-it

Is this the same problem everyone else is dealing with? Please keep us posted as soon as the DB goes back online. I thought it was just supposed to be down Labor Day weekend. But still not working from my end today. :(

The link posted above states:

Because of the extensive inter-dependencies associated with such a server
move, we now expect that it may take additional time to finish making available all systems and
databases, all of which should be available by 8 a.m. on Thursday, September 10.

It appears that it is now back up.

Also, I have seen a few postings from people that were able to process a new GMRS license today without any fee whatsoever.

I guess that confirms that they are using the same people that implemented the ObamaCare web sites.

the free GMRS thing got caught and fixed around 3:30 PM yesterday. It was fun while it lasted.
