• 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.

cutlass,
the issue I have with the CB crowd of so called "technicians" is that they usually do not have a correct answer for a given question. It is all reblabbed advertising hype and technical gobbledegook that they have no clue about.

Are you crazy are you high,
Or just an ordinary guy?
Have you done all you can do?
Are you with me doctor?

Rather looks that way, the average CB "technician" is a blivet in the true sense of the word. Oh and if you want to see the ham equivalent you'll find them on QRZ. Just prepare for the unintended consequences, you may sacrifice your sanity to the god of La La Land aka 6 Land. (I'll bet she wants to kill me.)

Getting down to where the rubber meets the road, the Palomar Engineering Group was worth something when they used Clegg designs but rapidly went downhill when they acquired SBE the maker of the worst CBs in the world and as a sideline made CBs disguised as ham rigs like that one in question. I'd dump it for reasons previously stated plus the fact that after going through the changes produced items of abysmal quality. That's why it doesn't work, it was a POS to begin with.

Oh, and long live Steely Dan!

Anyone want this radio?
Offers?

Fixing it is beyond me.

Hello Eddy. i found a print for this radio and i was surprised to see this radio does not use the binary adders. my question is when you had the top off did you see a rectangle silver block with a single screw in the middle. let me know.

Later Chuck
