• 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.

breaking the rules!

100% in agreement. The OP should remove the text from his post and beg a Moderator to delete the thread. I do not list my Amateur or GMRS call sign on this site. I operate within the law but why would I want to give thieves or other wackadoos a roadmap to where they can steal expensive radio gear. Some of the guys on this site post pictures of their shacks along with their call signs. Anyone who openly posts callsigns is giving out their address. I changed my callsign mailing address to a PO Box. Costs me $70 a year for piece of mind. I may be a little on the paranoid side, but better safe than sorry.............

Do you not think others do that as well? Some of us are a little smarter than that. :wink:

Maybe the reason that MURS & GMRS are going the way of CB, is because so many people who do know better flagrantly violate both the letter and spirit of the operating and technical regulations governing MURS & GMRS? You are part of the problem. SMH...

One area that should not be a compromise is in the correct operating procedures, rules and regulations. Unfortunately today, with a lot more people involved, one will find more and more people that abuse their privileges. Be it on the radio, or driving a vehicle. One is only as good as their commitment to operating within the rules. And heaven knows today, there are as many people (or more) that abuse the rules as there are that follow them in all walks of life, not just radio and driving. But life is a circle, you never know when something will come back and bit you where it hurts.

Its not worth the time and effort to complain about this. And as MMcKenna said nothing in all likelihood will come of it. We had an FM Pirate interfering with a licensed station in the NY. NJ. area back in 2009 and OVER 200 INTERFERENCE COMPLAINTS WERE FILED. The FCC took 3 years to get them off the air. Good Luck!

Complaining did no good but FCC acted

Oh the irony of the the statement that complaining does no good. May not happen over night, but will happen. And if we see sex abuse, robbery repeated over and over, we shouldn't complaint? Where in the sand to you draw the line. If it is illegal, it is illegal whether you get caught or not. As stated, eventually something will come and bite you where it hurts.

Closing the Thread

If you want to hear real violations listen to 14.313 I understand nothing can or ever will be done to this operator because he is in Canada and it is perfectly ok to talk this way. if you don't hear anything check back from time to time. Ill never understand why grown men have to talk filth on the radio.

No one was identified

Charles Chandler K3CFC:

I just tripped across your scurrilous comment….
<BIG SNIP>
Since you were not identified, then why are you admitting you have something to feel bad about?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but i didn't post this. this the first i heard of it.

73's and you have a super day.

K3CFC
That post was posted from an IP address only used by your account. If you yourself did not post it, it was posted from your account at your IP address. Talk to whoever has access to your computer.

K3CFC:

Define the 1st "this" & (the last) "it"....

And are you really trying to suggest that you did NOT post the quoted comment, over your call-sign, K3CFC?

Really? Are you that desperate to troll here? I am not going to engage in a debate with you, either here or via PM. That means I don't want to hear from you in your standard, long, drawn out messages or even a short one. Consider my action in closing this as another warning to you to stop the trolling here on RadioReference. You have pleasantly not been a problem of late, so see if you can not start up again.

------

To the rest of the folks here that were discussing the OP's situation, I am sorry, but this was dragged off topic and there is really no saving it now.

To the OP, if you are really interested in reviving this subject you have my permission to start the topic over again, but if it is dragged off again, I will close it and deal with the problem then in a more stringent manner.
