I'm just curious...........What Motorola radios, current and grandfathered, are folks using on the MURS frequencies?
Thanks,

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.

Motorola CP100 portables, 15 channel version. These look identical to the Moto XTN series portables.
The CP100 was type accepted in August 2002. IIRC, the MURS deadline for Part 90 equipment to be grandfathered was sometime in November 2002, so these just made it under the wire.

Enough already with the guessing and misinformation. Look at this URL and get it right:

It's not "unlicensed" it's licensed by rule....meaning you can use the 5 MURS channels, provided you follow the technical and operation rules for the service. If not, you are violating the law and when someone complains, they might start looking for you. The best way for us to preserve the use of MURS / GMRS / FRS we have is encourage people to use it right, and follow the rules...not try to make it a free for all do whatever you want radio orgy.

Very much agreed.
It's just really cool to be able to use my public safety radio as a dual purpose instead on a CB.
If there was a catch, I think Walmart would have gotten bit by now. It seems like all the stores use the blue dot frequency (154.570.) The cost and headache of licensing so many stores would be huge.

Big chains like Walmart do license more "regular" channels, usually UHF. These VHF 2 watt radios only get you so much...especially in the concrete and steel jungle.
11.25 on a 1250...doubt it, but on 154.570 and 154.000 you can run 20khz. It's only the 3 151's that require 11.25.
Lots of drive through's on 154.570 and 154.600 at .1 to .5 watts.
Just run DPL and you won't hear anything else anyway.

If I am not mistaken, 12.5 KHz channel spacing is 11.25 bandwidth. The HT1250 does that just fine.
