• 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.

Thanks again MMckenna!

Will attempt to do all of the above suggestions on Monday when the FCC opens for business again. It might just be a matter of calling back repeatedly until I get someone who actually knows what they're doing.

I agree that the biggest part is probably getting an FRN under the business name. The FRN actually isn't the difficult part. The problem is with their java application on the 601 itself. That is where the Taxpayer EIN does not work.

Eh, thanks again for all the help!!! Your suggestions are extremely valuable to me, I assure you! Will hopefully get this resolved in the next few days.

Yep.. just verified it again. Figured I would at least start the application tonight so there is something in the system. Nope! Haha!

Was successful in getting a FRN for the business, but as soon as I start an application, their Java nonsense rejects the EIN, just like it did on the current application under my personal FRN.

I officially give up until Monday! :)

I did 30+ STAs a year for Bearcom for special events, we did either county wide or a 2-10 km radius of our repeater site. Almost all were approved in less than a week, sometimes I fat fingered a lat / long which got bounced back for correction.
When I had a boo boo which put the location in the Atlantic the girl at the FCC emailed to let me know it was outside the US, so I replied 'then you owe me a refund.' She gave me a LOL response.


We seldom asked for more than 50 freqs and with Trbo cap+ the number dwindled.

We would scan freqs in the area so we weren't shot gunning a large list with the intention of using maybe half just to find clean freqs.

I used an XP virtual PC in Virtual box with an old version of Java to fill out the forms, I seem to remember one version let me copy and paste emission codes, one didn't, that version got removed.

Right now the energy companies are already using virtually every IG frequency across the country.
Since the oil and gas companies are employing hundreds of thousands building pipelines and drilling wells, they have grabbed every frequency available in the areas they are working in.
And energy giants like Exxon Mobile, Chevron, And Marathon have billions of dollars to spend to keep em
