• 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.

Remember your CB radio call sign?

By the time that I Pressed the PTT for the first time, Class D licenses were no longer being issued. I used Adam 12 as a Handle, but I changed it to Travelling man. Hey, Adam-12 sounded so stupid and I really didn't remember the Jack Webb series, since I wasn't born yet. However, I do remember a lot of CB radios were featured on TV shows in the late 1970s and early 80s, such the Dukes of Hazard and once in a while CHiPs. A Team used mostly VHF-LO somewhere in the 49mhz band, but the CB when talk from BA's van to Face's Corvett.

I love seeing that FCC license. Great memories! It’s amazing that you still have it. I was around 12 years old in 1964 when my father sent in the license form for the Knightkit C-22 base station that we had just assembled together. We were assigned KLK-1543. I had several school friends who had also put CB base stations on the air and we had great fun with them.
