This smacks of a troller.
I have bought the software from motorola and now am ready to program my radio. I need help because there are so many numbers in a frequency and I would like to have my own frequency with my friends.
You're kidding, right? You knew enough about the radio to buy the software from Motorola, yet you're naive enough to believe you can have you're own frequency? No. I'm not buying it.
How much do I need to change i.e. 154.17500 to make this my own frequency that nobody else would have unless I programmed it. Thanks for your help. ANY help much appreciated.
The fact is, there is NO frequency you could plug into the radio that no one else could possibly have. What service do you intend to operate in? There are almost no frequencies that are legal for you to operate a programmable radio that don't require a license of some sort - and those will be severely limited (i.e. portable radios only). There is a VERY short list of frequencies that you could program short of a business or amateur license.
A business license is going to require prior coordination, and the coordinator will tell you what SHARED frequency you can apply for.
An amateur license will require you to be aware of local band plans, and what frequencies are used for what modes. And those frequencies will be SHARED.
So, come on... if you're a troll, crawl back under your rock. If you're not, then you need to tell us what service you intend to operate under so we can have a clue where to steer you.
If you don't know what service you intend to operate under, you need to put the programming software away for a while, because you have too much to learn.
