• 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.

How to gain more visibility to those in commercial RF?

I asked a NOAA guy how 100 year flood plains were determined, he admitted he didn't know.
I've lost track of the number of 100 year flood levels that have been exceeded in the last few years. I don't think anyone is taking into account how much more runoff we have due to the huge increase in concrete and asphalt covering our planet with our population growth.

if you are ever stranded on an island you should bury a piece of fiber...a backhoe will show up shortly to cut it.

In TV production we say just setup a color calibration chart, someone will walk between it and your camera.

I think being a weather forecaster (or - meteorologist) is the only job you can be wrong about half the time, or more, and still have a job. Though, I'd also say there is also a lot that just plain isn't known/understood. I am not sure if it ever will be, but technology and "what is known/understood" certainly keeps improving every year.
