Yes. It would be considered bad form to split pairs like that. I've heard of some GMRS repeaters doing it to reduce issues with unlicensed users trying to hack the system. Very rare, probably unlikely, you'd ever run across that.

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 far south in Florida ?
I have the exact setup for antennas on our cars, the range is great, plus they clear the garage door, had the 5/8's on one and it would make a racket pulling in. We have a repeater at the house, we get 20 miles, 8-10 with hills and things in the way, but the repeater is only 40 feet up for now with a cheap Comet 9dbi.
Also you might be able to pick up the CPS for those radios and like others have said, program yourself. I put some local PD's (receive only of course with the PL's since some of the freq's have outer laying departments using digital, very annoying).
Also kudo's on licensing and getting some black radios
