• 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.

Sounds to me that you are a prime candidate for the old CB radios. A mobile SSB with a AC/DC power supply, push-up pole and antenna will cover that distance with no problem. Probably plenty at the local pawn shops. But get SSB to assure more range and privacy.

In addition to the RS 19-1210 (a GREAT mobile), Dakota Alert also makes a Base Station model MURS station. It uses a BNC connector which is a bit odd, but with adapters it works. I have a Dakota Alert base station to free up my 19-1210s for vehicles. It works pretty well and has call buttons to use somewhat like odd sounding pagers.







On the 154.xx not the 151.xx channels. (just a reminder)

And good luck on finding any. Been looking for years.

You can narrow band on any MURS frequency. You can also use any pre-service Part 90 radio's that meet spec. Of you could find a low power narrowbanded maxtrac...you could use it.
