• 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.

My GMRS license is up for renewal. I don't have a credit card anymore, only a debit card. Can I pay with debit online? If not, what are my other options, if any, once I'm able to borrow a computer to do so? (Pre-paid credit card? Check?)

Why not a good old fashioned U.S. postal money order? ;)

If that is a valid option, then it's one I'd consider. A cashiers check from my credit union would be one I'd consider as well, if it's an option.

Debit should work fine. They will run it as a credit card.

I was just curious, because I've attempted to use a debit card online before when a credit card was required, and it would not take it. If someone could state factually that a debit card will or will not work, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, I can confirm that the online FCC application service will accept a debit card as payment. I just applied for my GMRS license Monday (02/11/13) ... paid with debit card .... application approved and callsign issued on (02/12/13)

Yep, I used my debit card, and just got the paper license in the mail today. So I'm good to go for another 5 years :)

IF it has a VISA or MASTERCARD logo on it, it should be accepted anywhere Visa and Mastercard is accepted. If it hasn't worked before it could have been declined or not have passed the security verification. This is coming from an e-tailer.

Why not ask the FCC? It seems kind of silly looking for that kind of information here.
