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.

No I do not. I have heard the miserable over powered “ La echo one” that ids every 4 min and the crest line repeater that again is over powered and has Spanish speakers 24hours a day with zero call signs . Not interested in those
I drove past the Crestline repeater site yesterday, that would have massive range from 7,000+ feet.

Yes the crest line repeater has a HUGE foot print of over 100miles in radius. From the beach to Barstow And even into Beverly Hills but it’s all Spanish all day. I have heard a club also has a big foot print in the area.
The Spanish speakers actually make contacts and have conversations about all kinds of interesting things. That's why there are so many Spanish speaking repeaters in Socal.
Long distance simplex is a big thing. We have guys making 12 element yagis out of old bed springs, talking from the border to Santa Barbara...direct on 4 watts.
The English speakers???
Except for the hilarious and disgusting "Red White and Blue" free speech repeater...
The only thing I ever hear on Mid-Crest and Crest are RADIO CHECKS, and "So and so monitoring".
What are they all "monitoring " for?
Are they expecting, emergencies or other atomic bedlam?
The "Mount Julio" 650 can be funny when they all start drinking.
Scan-Sexy!
Ole!
I hear the reason California is now more than 50% Spanish speaking is the lure of our GMRS repeaters. People are literally jumping over the fence to get here and get on the air. It’s what brought me back to CA in the early 80s and I don’t even speak Spanish.
Yes, the Inland Empire is home to the GMRS Queen
