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.

In the desert Southwest, your location/setup is probably as important as knowing the frequencies. At home, with an indoor antenna (any radio) you probably need to be within 5 miles of an Interstate Hwy to hear much of anything. I'm a half mile from a busy I-17 and once in a while I hear a short portion of a conversation as a couple of truckers pass by. Driving the interstate will be better, but I-10 from Phoenix to L.A. is still pretty much dead. You will always hear the "illegals" hammering the channels, from who-knows-where, with "Audio..Audio...Audio...Audio...". I think it must be a recording, lol.

These freqs are in our wiki, of course...
In addition, some channels - such as 16 and 36 through 40 - used to use sideband in some parts of the country. These frequencies would not be receivable on a normal scanner - a communications rx or a wideband radio with a bfo (like the Icom R20) would be necessary to hear these.

Program between 26.000 - 28.000 MHz you will get all CB Freqs and also CB Freeband Freqs that are above and below CB freqs not all in Freeband is on sideband
I have a cb in the truck and to be honest traffic can be sporadic unless you live near a busy truck stop at least on channel 19 aka sesame street... Lots of rude talk and guys whispering about not wearing panties

I don't live near a major highway and I don't get much traffic on CB. During the day I get a few DXers and illegals, along with the rare trucker. At night there's almost nothing except once I heard some guy on I think channel 6 who was either drunk or just crazy rambling on about the government.
Also, I use an HF receiver for CB and not a scanner, it seems to work better at picking things up.

It's the same frequencies, it just uses USB or LSB instead of AM. I think USB is preferred but I don't listen to CB much so I'm not sure.

Its mainly LSB. That or my TRC-465 doesn't like USB that much. Eitherway, When skip comes in, All I pick up is on 38 LSB.
