is anyone talking on one of these radios

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.
Anybody talking on a Sears Roadtalker 40/ssb radio
- Thread starter Eggburt
- Start date
Back in the early 90's, one of the regulars on our channel frequently talked about the Sears Roadtalker he had back in the day. Could not sing its praises enough. I didn't get into CB until my high school days in the late 80's. The Roadtalker is a bit before my time in the hobby. Interesting design - looks like a mixer board.

Road Talker 40 SSB mobile is my current garage/workshop radio. If I'm in there it is on.
Good to hear that these classic rigs are still on the air today. The current crop of CB radios are feature-laden and perhaps better performers, but it remains to be seen how many of them still usable in 5 or 10 years ,never mind 40-50 years!
