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.

Don't call anyone a "Good Buddy" they will be very upset with you...lol...this ain't the sixties...
Bear is a State Trooper
Diesel cop is a dot officer, also may be call a diesel bear since they deal primarily with commercial vehicles
Local yokol is a city police officer
County Monty is a a Sheriff, may also be called Andy Taylor or Barney
Plain White (or color of vehicle) wrapper is an unmarked police car
Hammered down is going very fast
Hammer lane is the far left lane
Granny lane is the far right lane
Back door is some one behind you watching for bears
Front door leading the way looking for bears and able to warn you
Rocking chair folks in the middle safe from bears since the front door or back door will get caught before you.
Big road is any Interstate highway
Get on or Get off are on ramps or off ramps
Seat cover...lol..good looking gal in a car passing you, lets the other drivers know to take a look hhhmmm from another car the view is not going to look quite the same as it does when your looking down from a truck, if you get my drift...lmao
Flip Flop or just Flip used when a bear changes from one direction to another,or one side of the big road to another (That bear just did a flip, he's Southbound at the 142) alway use mile marker for locations.
many many more but that will get you started

Google "trucker slang" and you will get many MANY pages
most of them have carried on from the CB craze of the 1970s

In case ya don't catch it, calling someone "good buddy" today is taken as a homosexual remark..
Yeah,unfortunately slang terms like those have leaked into the GMRS and HAM community and sometimes even on the phone at which time I hang up on them! :twisted:
73 is the only one I use.

if you use "10-4" on ham bands you get chewed. It is called CB slang, to stay on CB. We have a local ham that says "73, we gone, bye bye!"

Smokeys don't like it when big rigs run the double nickel (interstate speed limit was 55 in the 70s), cause they can't get the bill.

CB = Chicken Band
FCC = Funny Candy Company
Back in elementary school, we had a book club and we could purchase what ever we liked. I bought a paperback book that was about CB radio, kinda geared towards kids. This was about '78-'79. It was easy reading, and had hand drawn, cartoon type pictures and all the cool slang - it was a kids book, so it didn't have all the slang. I don't remember what it's called and absolutely CANNOT find it. I have many books from my younger days, boxes of 'em, and just can't find that particular book. Now that I Googled, I'm positively sure it's this one The Big Dummy's Guide to C.B. Radio (B0019JZ0ME) - bestsellersworld.com Product Guide I remeber the white boarder and dark pink cover. Plus, I have my CB board game still, the title escapes me now, I was just up in the garage before seeing this thread. But I wanna find that book too !!!!!!!!!!!
...c'mon...
