• 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.

What is your GMRS call sign?

hilarious that a nameless few felt the need to make up call signs for this
Honestly I'm not sure why people would post their full name and address on a public internet forum, opens lots of doors for identity theft in todays world.:( But then again, maybe that's just me and my personal security paranoia.:roll: Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

It seems that the FCC database routinely skips numbers. Sometime it skips a number or two, but from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3, it skipped approximately 300 numbers. What's up with that?

Shouldn't that be WKRP in Cincinnati ? "Ha Ha" Just kindding.
I let my GMRS lic expire and got a new Call Sign when I reapplied. But there are thousands out there that never get a lic. I wonder does the FCC ever enforce that? I guess with the low power it's hard to unless someone is being a nescience. And a lot of people that have a lic, don't seem to use their Call Signs either especially if they just do portable to portable, like hunting.
It's too bad they dropped the Lic. on CB's.
Back in the day your family could listen to CB talk, now it's cursing and trash and filth on the CB channels.

And I don't mind. Don't have all the children like on 27 MHz (aka CB), and don't have the die hard stringent rules of Amateur radio. Nothing against CB and/or ham radio, it's just not for me.
