• 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.

So last year I was unable to renew my GMRS license and it expired May 2009. Recently I attempted to renew the license and I get an error message in the ULS system that says

This call sign has expired. To file a renewal, a waiver request is required. Answer the waiver questions and attachment question accordingly.

This license is no longer active. To submit this application please provide a waiver attachment.

Please try again

So now I'm looking for the specific Rule that I need to file a waiver for. Anyone have any ideas? I searched the Part 95 GMRS rules and unless I'm missing something I can't figure out what to request a waiver for.

I'm not so sure I'm going to renew anyway. The $85 is bad enough, but with the $170 Waiver fee added on for a $260 license renewal is kinda silly.

I really enjoyed the GMRS service but I don't know if I want to shell out all that money.
