• 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.

Can someone recommend an Legal CB Radio (40 Channel, 4W AM/ FM, 12W SSB)?
I need to control it over my local Network. There is no Physical Connection between me and the Attic where the Radio should be.
Thanks

Davenport,Fl.- home to me and the gators and the s
Thanks for the location.

Over in Poland their frequency allocation for cb is 5Khz lower than what we have. If you buy from the States, you'll have to modify the PLL chip.

Poland: 26.960 (ch.1) to 27.400 (ch.2)
US: 26.965 (ch.1) to 27.405 (ch.2)

**** i dint get any message that someone write something..

No i am not in or from Poland. I am from Austria. We have the normal European CB Frequency.
like 40 Channel, 4W AM/ FM and 12W SSB.
Do you want to control it via an app?
Nope my Pc.
For switch between the Data Channels.

UNIDEN 980 is illegal here because it have an receiver for 140mhz band:
Weather Alert - When activated, user is notified by NOAA weather signal of inclement conditions.
You could receive here an local Transport Company and the Hospital Pager.

Per FCC rules, yes CB radios can be controlled remotely. BUT, they must be hard wired and not wireless control.

§95.419c (CB Rule 19)
(c) Remote control means operation of a CB transmitter from any place other than the location of the CB transmitter. Direct mechanical control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the same premises, craft or vehicle as the CB transmitter is not considered remote control.

Is there similar or same rule in Europe like USA has? Then yes, a USA radio can be controlled hard-wired remotely. Even a computer with wires to the radio for control would work. A computer with a phone patch wired to a CB radio with phone patch will work. no wireless. BUT, if different in Europe, follow those rules.

No, because cb's do not transmit or receive data
i know but there are some cool things like ROS and or other Sound Based Transmissions.
Nor are they controlled remotely.
i know i know... but when i do data I can put an small pc there who make the connection.
I belive the ros application dont support any io over the network.
Voice isnt aything for me i dont like it.
IDK exactly what your goal is but maybe these will give you some ideas or squash your dreams....
The Antenna will be on the roof top to receive anything.
I live on the ground floor. So no physical connection is possible.

I know there are very good Amateur Radios out there. CB Radios are sshhtt sorry to say it that way.

Then study and get your Amateur radio license so you can use them instead of **** cb's. :). Conection to your rooftop antenna IS possible using coaxial cable. Good luck should you decide to do so. 73, n9zas

. I'm not sure where you get the 90% failure rate figure but I doubt that's correct. There are are grade school and preteens getting their tech ham licenses all the time, and you're telling me YOU can't do it?? Baloney ... step up and give it a shot!! So what if you fail the first time, try again! You'll be surprised how easy it is, and it does NOT cost anything but the exam cost, which is about $15. No more excuses. :wink: 73, n9zas

Are there any actual stats for what the cost and fail rate in Austria are?
