They do now. Much like using burner phones, use em and toss em. 73, n9zasLOL. Oh really, so that's like a known thing? Everyone knows what a "CCR" is?

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.

Isn't it the Creedence Clearwater Revival Band??? CCR...
Lol, yep them too But they'll be around forever.
. 73, n9zasThat's not always the case. Kenwood NX-300, NX-5300 and Icom F4161, F4261 put out 5 watts. And yes, those are the UHF handhelds. Somebody said he tested his Kenwood NX-300 and that it does 5.x watts.
It's mostly because at higher frequencies, output devices need more input power for a given amount of output power. They're less efficient at higher frequencies.
So, to keep the same battery life spec, a UHF radio typically has less power output than a VHF one,
and an 800 or 900 MHz radio has still less power output for the same battery life.
