• 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.

I'm KEEPING my Baofeng GT-5TP. I'm NOT a drug dealer, and obey the laws and ONLY use this transceiver to receive police/fire and trust me, they work MUCH better then "any" brand (name I won't mention)handheld scanners for $39.95 and with LONG battery life along with great audio/sensitivity too.
BAOFENG IS A JOKE! Their drop chargers all FAIL! A lot of re-packs too. Mine is going back to Amazon.com Monday, 4/8/19. I'm not going to even monitor with a illegal transceiver. I'm reading that Boafeng is the only place to buy online. Is this true guys?
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Hmm, which is it, Bob? Awesome performance, or a joke? :rolleyes:

My car is capable of driving on illegal roads, such as wrong way on a one way, exceeding the speed limit, and other such legal constraints. Should the suit be expanded to include automobiles as well?

An alternative answer is the blind assumption that since these radios allegedly had Part 90 certification

That's on the owner operator of the radio, everyone is just lucky the FCC doesn't go around handing out NAL's because of it. I lost faith in most manufacturers claims in the 1970's. You want blind faith good luck with that.
