• 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 Sky.
You should jump on one day while in
your travels. 725 has great coverage, but
trying to put up with the sporadic timeout
dropping carrier is a bit frustrating

skypilot (citywide) 725's tone is 91.5 and from what me and the other guys know about it it is a open machine with a license obviously as spugeddy said it has a short timeout timer on it but you are welcome to get on and give a shout theres always normally someone listening that would be willing to have a conversation with.

harbor-tech the norristown system is down indefinitely i know the owner as the main supporter of the system no longer lives in the area. It kinda sucks that gmrs is dying in the area would like to see more open repeaters go up for more coverage in travel especially in the SE region of PA

if anyone has any information on open gmrs in the area or trying to put one up fell free to shoot me a private message.

I was throwing my call out there yesterday while driving home, no replies. I'll try again today, around 3:45-4:30pm I'm commuting.
