• 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.

Can a CB interfere with a Cel phone?

Weird question I know but everything I have seen online says a Cel phone ( if it uses a booster) can interfierce with a CB but nothing the other way around.
Just one of those things that makes you wonder....lol

Big difference in frequency, usually there is some level of filtering in the CB transmitter section to keep them from putting out strong enough signals outside the CB band to cause issues. That, and CB's being 4 watts make any unwanted emissions to be pretty low power.

A strong enough transmitted signal can de-sensitize a nearby receiver if the devices/antennas are close enough. Think of it like trying to listen to someone whispering across the room while someone else is yelling in your ear.

McKenna, yup that was my first logical thought based on the huge frequency difference, 4 watts and filtering as you said.
However searching the net didnt substantiate what I thought. So figured posting it might put it to rest. It’s a new age and for some reason cel phones popped into my brain....lol
