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.

The answer to the other question I had:
§ 95.129 Station equipment.
Every station in a GMRS system must use transmitters the FCC has certificated for use in the GMRS. Write to any FCC Field Office to find out if a particular transmitter has been certificated for the GMRS. All station equipment in a GMRS system must comply with the technical rules in part 95.
I think this falls under "illegal, but noone really cares" since the CDM1250 seems to be the recommended mobile for GMRS.
I wasn't sure on the second part of your question I didn't want to give any false information.
I will say its tough to find part 95 devices that are repeater capable (not saying its a excuse to use a part 90 device) but most do use part 90 devices I have not seen any articles where the FCC took action against someone for using a part 90 device on GMRS but then again I haven't really looked.
Another recommended mobile is the TK805D

1. My friend I was testing it for works for the FCC and he said you are allowed for testing purposes.
2. Any radio within the band, is allowed for it, as long as you program a frequency corresponding to your use/license limits.
3. No one in the world can tell the power output by just a transmission, you must be physically there.
4. Recently the FCC has not been fining people for illegal use, because they are busy setting up the new "Text 911" for March of 2014, and fixing bugs the Wideband/Narrowband rule.

This is just wrong on so many levels.
But anyway, we know your SWR was high due to you using a meter that's not intended for UHF, so I'm going to close this thread as it's going downhill fast.
