I have one and can't seem to find the type information on the FCC website.
Getting ready to list it in classified section.
Thanks,
Ron

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.
Is a Motorola HT1000 UHF Legal on GMRS?

Its fine on GMRS. If you want to use it on FRS make sure the power is set to "low"
(for the radio police)

It is not part 95 certified, thus not legal for GMRS and no way for FRS.
But...
What about Part-90 Certified units such as the commercial version of WOUXUN KGUV6D? (W/ NB 2.5 KHz)

I'll play devil's advocate here, and I believe there are other threads that discuss this. The fact that an HT-1000 is certified for public safety use (in my opinion) supersedes GMRS and FRS certification. And the Wouxun radios are not technically certified for GMRS or FRS either. The real question is, will anyone on those channels ever know the difference (or care)? I will happily admit that I've transmitted on business band with a chinese handheld, a ham band with a public safety radio, and GMRS/FRS with both. Don't bother with lectures, radio cops, I know what I was doing...

Not advocating using illegal equipment, but unless someone calls the FCC with a complaint, who will know what type equipment you are using? Except for the S.A.P.S., who really cares?
Consider the rule under Part 95. The HT1000 can:
-produce the appropriate emission type
-operate on the appropriate frequencies
-operate at the appropriate bandwidth
-operate at the appropriate channel spacing
-be programmed with the appropriate frequency pairs
-operate at the appropriate power output
So while the HT1000 is not explicitly Part-95 listed, it certainly complies with the rules.
As was otherwise stated, however, completely out for FRS.

There are the rules and personal ethics. If your personal ethics allow you to knowingly violate the rules then then changes of getting caught are slim. The OP asked the question the answer to his question is that radio is not legal for the use he inquired about. Why the "do it you'll never get caught" crowd has to keep stirring up the pot is beyond me.
phillydldan,
The regs say you must use a PART 95 approved radio it does not grant and exception if the radio is PART 90. Which BTW leaves out the Wouxun. But as the ones with low personal morals are wont to point out JUST DO IT YOU WON'T GET CAUGHT.

LOL, yeah, I guess I do have low morals. I was gonna say more, but I have a feeling I'd get banned for life if I made a "Hamsexy-esque" statement... If you had a sense of humor, you'd have milk coming out of your nose, trust me! ;-)

Don't worry about the S.A.P.S. (Self Appointed Police Sheriffs), they whine and cry alot, but you get used to them.
Personally, I use P25 and encryption when I talk on GMRS!

Here's the bottom line: I have no desire to operate on GMRS or waste the money to obtain a GMRS license that I do not ever intend to use. I don't know anyone in this area that uses GMRS and have never heard anything on that band on any of my scanners.
In the SC forum this was posted a month ago:
http://forums.radioreference.com/so...37857-gauging-interest-gmrs-repeater-net.html
There were no replies.
Maybe it's just me but I can't bring myself to pay $95 for a mostly useless (to me) license.
Right now my HT1000 is programmed for the local 440 repeaters and the last time that I talked there was January.
Thanks,
Ron

Dan,
There is a difference between doing something you know to be wrong and going on an open forum on the internet and bragging about it.

Well you'll be worried about it when the local FCC enforcement officer with a cheesy mustache and a plaid leisure suit pays a visit to your house after finishing off his morning round of a dozen doughnuts and hauls you and your HT1000 off to radio jail.
It's too late now, he's probably already on top of you. I bet he's reading this forum right now. He knows your next move before you even think about making it.
And he's probably thinking "I'm not wasting my time with this little stuff, besides I'm making the big bucks either way, why bother?"
It's just like a cop that tries to stop every driver that goes 1 mph over the speed limit. He just wastes a lot of his time and wears himself out. While he's tied up the big one gets away. Then another LEO makes the big bust....

Well, it wouldn't be the first time i've been under the careful watch of the FCC. And probably won't be the last. Just add it to the file...
