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.
GMRS REPEATERS IN LAKE ELSINORE CALIFORNIA

If you go to https://www.mygmrs.com/repeaters you can search at the top. I put in Elsinore and got a hit, last updated a year ago. That entry says it requires permission to use it but, as I said, that was a year ago so things could have changed. Reach out to the owner to inquire before attempting to use, though, just in case.
There is also a GMRS section on RepeaterBook.com now.

The most accurate list of GMRS repeaters is the one you make yourself.
MyGMRS is woefully outdated.
Same for all these other "list".
The easiest way to find repeaters in Ca. is to listen and scan the repeater channels on Saturday and Sundays. You will hear all those noobies asking for radio checks, and announcing they "are monitoring".
Next...
You scan for the PL's. Most the "open (a farce) repeaters" will have the same input and output pl's.
Once you find a pair...then just key-up and ask for a radio check.
OR...
You could key-up and actually start a convo about politics or some thing fun. That should get the channel hopping real quick.
Don't forget to snag the PL's of the spanish repeaters too.
Any port in a storm.....right?
One thing though...
Lake Elsinore is in a bit of a radio hole, unless you are up in the hills.
Try the "Crest" Repeater on Mt Santiago 462.675 141.3pl you may be able to hit that one.
Crest is pretty much open now since all the paid members bailed when the owner booted many for missing mandatory "Band Practice".
The point is...
Socal GMRS changes on a DAILY basis. Machines go up...and boxes go down.
The "list" are useless.
Try Menifee, it's an open repeater

I thank all of you for taking the time out of your day to respond to my question and for providing me with leads to follow up on. Have a great day!
One good thing about GMRS...repeaters are supposed to only be on a select few frequencies so, as Peter said...just monitor them and see what you hear is always the best way. But the sites/lists are still useful tools in my experience. YMMV and, as always, location, location, location.
