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.
This is a great thread! I wish I had my original license, but I should be able to recreate it with the generous posts of a few of you who still have yours. Thank you!

Wow this thread is over 11 years old and it's been revived. There was another thread, what was your call sign also. I would love to have my license that was under my dad's name when I was 12 in 1965...

Operated KON-940, Animal Clinic 7616 Custer Road West in Tacoma, KRM-8566 Rainier REACT Unit 699, and also my own license KNP-3797 in Tacoma. KBUR-7200 in Quincy, Ma. Now N1OSG. Still keep the spirit alive, just never enough time in life to enjoy the fun of radio like back then. In Tacoma was known as the PUDDLE JUMPER, in Quincy as the DUSTY BEAR
I have MOST of mine. It was out in the garage and pinned to a cork board from when I used to have a table set up out there hooked to an antenna. Then I gave it up for a long time. The cork board fell off the wall got behind some boxes...and when I finally found it....moisture had gotten to it and about 35% of the middle top is gone. Still have it though....
Once upon a time I had KQV6070. Some time around '65 - '67, maybe? Also held a C.A.P. mobile call under the national license during that period. Can't remember that one.
