• 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.

And IS-95 CDMA, and WCDMA, and Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

What you'd do is license the spectrum based on power. Within this footprint and this channel, you can contribute x dBm out of a noise floor limit of y dBm. Spectrum efficiency is increased because if you aren't talking, you aren't transmitting and adding to the noise floor, and you can license more users, instead of reserving some number of fixed channels forever.

That's how we regulate Wi-Fi today. At 5 GHz, you're allowed 17 dBm max in any 1 MHz bandwidth.
There's 150 MHz of spectrum at 3.55 to 3.7 GHz that's more than half license by rule if one cares enough to use Part 96 compliant equipment, only real downside to it is the EIRP limit is 50 W

I hold a 10 MHz channel in the licensed segment of the band in Union County, IN, it's actually a pretty cool concept

The spectrum access system in this band is basically an automated frequency coordinator
