Good question. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on him, since I'm used to hearing all sorts of excuses. I know little about Austria, so its possible they have fewer hams and little support for them. :roll: 73, n9zas

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.

The test cost ~30€/ Class + 20€ - 60€ per Year for the Callsign + 30€ - 90€/year for the social club (or what the correct translation is...).
you want the highest class you must pay ~90€ the test and (if the information are correct) 60€/ Year for the licence.
Sorry that is a huge Money!

. Wow, that's robbery!! Who gets your money then? You need to contact the ARRL and see if they can get you in contact with a VE and talk to him. The call sign does NOT cost you money, its assigned to you. Forget the club fee, no club is worth that. Someone is lining their pockets if that's what they told you it costs!

The equivalent in Austria is Österreichischer Versuchssenderverband (ÖVSV) - Austrian Amateur Radio Society.
HAM Tests in Austria are a more like an expert talk with the examination board to prove you are interested in Ham Radio and understand the matter. There is nothing to write other than the application form. There's no obligation to do a license course (though it really helps). You just enroll to be tested and the Fernmeldebüro will let you know the date about 2-4 weeks before. Be advised they only do exams in Linz, Graz, Innsbruck and Wien.
Unfortunately, I was unable to determine what - if any - costs aside from travel are involved.
On a side note, I find it mildly disturbing that...
Have our requirements for General Class fallen that low?

who want that money...
I know 2 people who have an licence and yes i know why i dont want any.
i would say 99% of the people are ignorant. The say Digital is **** and other Terms who are not correct.
Sorry i dont want arguing around when the think the are rite ok ok...
I dont know where the people here coming from. Freq <50Mhz are quite impossible to receive in the City because here is to much RF Noise. The cute and little Power Line Adapter makes it impossible to get an nice and clear Sound. When you are on the highway its better.
So i will try CB first. SSB with 12W but which Radio for?
I also ned an Adapter for the Soundcard.
Wow, I didn't realize the osterichwhatstheirface were so money hungry! What a shame because that's really going to make it tough for new hams there. I would probably stick to cb if I had to deal with that too. Sad ... 73, n9zas

It can't be all that bad, as they are hosting the YOTA* (Youngsters On The Air) this year. I was reading while searching for information that the national organization in South Africa is sending three lucky young hams to the event.Wow, I didn't realize the osterichwhatstheirface were so money hungry! What a shame because that's really going to make it tough for new hams there.
During the 2015 YOTA held in Italy, 20 new "young American hams" passed their FCC exams:
- 4 Technician
- 13 General
- 4 Extra
* See: YOTA Austria 2016 | Youngsters On The Air
Sorry the told the Kids some wrong Words and Themes and nobody want to fix them.
And getting some Youngsters On The Air? lol... 0 Information for non Member.
Find out who Operate the Repeater? No way. The ÖVSV have huge amount of Money on there Bank Account!
Ignorant old People there. Everything what non Radio Amateurs or Freaks say are Stupid or non useful.
Sorry I will start with an CB Station!

I'm very puzzled why many of these CB topics often get HIJACKED and become derailed by postings dealing with HAM radio. Guys, there is a section for that on this forum. Please take it over there for discussion.
Let's keep the CB 11-meters for the CBers in this section and the HAM talk for the HAM section.
OK, I do realize that there is some cross-over, while limited, but taking about kids getting ham tickets are no relevant to the CB section. Sure, I'm happy like the next HAM those kids got tickets, just take it to the proper section.

While in general I support your suggestion, you should review the discussion a bit more carefully sir. It was the OP who first brought "amateur radio" into his own thread... :wink:

Sorry on your part. Nowhere did the thread originator bring HAM into place other than he is focusing on 11-meters for being in his country. Others keep quoting him the US FCC regs and HAM stuff that he politely pushes off. Still, nobody here has really helped him any.
Maybe we as HAMS need to step down from being HAMS and be more informative as regular radio guys to help assist his needs. He wants to stay on the CB band in his country.
Post #16:
While it may even be technically possible to create an IP interface to enable control of a CB radio remotely, the costs would likely far exceed the price of the CB radio, not to mention some serious "surgery" on the radio itself...

So, how does the original poster say he is now switching to Amateur radios and forsaking the CB band?
Sorry, your quote is not even close to the mark. He only stated a simple comparison between radio hardware of the two bands, but it did not change his request for help on the CB band.
No i say only that CB Radios are years behind Amateur/ "Commercial" Radio not that i want to buy any.

AE 7500 AM/FM/SSB CB Radio (Mobile)
Best functions in common controls. No button menus to hunt for functions. I would choose this one personally.
AE 5890 EU,CB Mobil,Multi 4 Watt AM/FM, 12 Watt SSB (Mobile)
Great for CB or convert to HAM Amateur Bands. Costs more. Only benefit is resale to Amateur person.
Must use menu buttons to change many functions. Not quick to change a function.
MIDLAND 8001 XT AM/FM/SSB CB (Mobile and Base Station uses and functions)
This is a more a CB with many of the desired functions. It has the look and feel of a CB base station as well. I would choose this one personally.
President Grant II AM FM SSB (Mobile)
Great for CB. Must use menu buttons to change many functions. Not quick to change a function.
JACKSON II (Mobile)
This is a more a CB with many of the desired functions.
AE 7500 and the MIDLAND 8001 XT are very nice radios. These would work good in many applications for CB.
If you are going to start spending over 400 us dollars on a new radio then you might as well get an icom 718 (or icom 78) that is selling for 600 right now.... Then you would have a nice sw receiver to boot...
295,00 € / 269,00 € on the first research.
not an cb radio and cost 595,00 €
@ KC2GIU KC2GIU
How about the internal boards? I care more about the internal parts.
Does anyone make an measurement?
EDIT: I found some "cheap" radio:
Super Star 3900 40 Kanal AM/FM/SSB CB-Funkgerät mit 4 Watt AM/FM 12 Watt SSB PEP 149,95 €
AE5890 EU Albrecht Multikanalnorm CB Funkgerät mit AM/FM/SSB und 10-12m Band 189,00 €
