• 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 am trying to design and build a portable radio system for some events that i work with. We are not an actual business but we do a lot of volunteer work and have use for radios in a lot of things we do. I am thinking about using a Motorola GR 1225 radio repeater to work with our radios. What i need help deciding is weather i should try to acquire a business licence or use GRMS frequencies. If i did use GRMS every person would have to acquire an individual license. Is is possible to acquire a business license and yet have the repeater location portable?

Any suggestions would be very helpful.

You can't use GMRS for business.

I would suggest FRS or MURS, but you can't put repeaters on those.

I'd go the business license route, and any frequency coordinator can help you with the license application. I'm sure it's possible to license a mobile repeater.
