• 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.

Hello all-

My wife, friends and family travel internationally often and frequently take cruises. We have been using the Costco special Motorola talk about radios for a while but we've decided to step up to a professional radio for increased range, voice quality, text messaging and vibrate alert feature. I'm getting ready to order 4 Motorola SL7550e 2 way radios for this purpose. Does anyone have any experience with this model or past 7000 series? I realize these are technically not legal for use in Europe so I'd like some opinions on that matter as well. My apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on the forum. I've been scouring the web trying to find which European frequencies are the potential culprits. When I register with the FCC do they assign the 5 frequencies randomly or is there a way to choose?

Lots of questions I know. I appreciate any insight anyone can provide!

those are dmr radios ment to be used for mototrbo. if you use them on gmrs in analog mode it would work with the gmrs license but really isnt worth the price.

text messaging wont work on analog mode either!
