• 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.

I've been researching UHF handi-helds for use on a licensed Industrial/Business Pool Private Mobile Radio Service. I contacted Baofeng regarding this:
"I am considering purchasing a quantity of UV-82C handheld radios for use in the licensed Industrial/Business Pool Conventional Private Mobile Radio Service, 462/467 MHz frequency range. Is the UV-82C FCC type accepted for use in the UHF business band? Lastly, does the UV-82C have any moisture/dust/shock specifications. Thank you."
Baofeng response:
"It is Part 90 PLMR certified for use on business frequencies, it also carries an IP54 weather resistance rating."
I tested some Baofengs about 10 years ago and the transmitters were a mess, not make emissions specs. I guess they figured out how to design their transmitters. Does anyone have any experience with the UV-82C in real-world business use outside in day-to-day field operations? Thanks, Ed, SaddleBrooke, Az.
