• 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.

I am surprised that at 63, that I remembered both of my callsigns as well. I even remembered an uncle's callsign of KCK-5007 as well. Its funny how the mind works at times when sometimes I can't remember what I got up and went to the kitchen for. ;^)

I'm in my early 20s and have that happen all the time, I'll sometikes forget what I was talking about mid sentence. Course I did have a mild stroke 3 years ago. Talking on HAM radio helped me be able to speak again and the homebrew projects helped me control my fingers somewhat normally, still slightly shakey though.

Sorry to hear that you experienced that but it is great to hear that you are finding ways to work through it. I sincerely hope that you continue to improve.

I remember my CB call sign back in 1963 was KGI 0520, Funny how some things stick in your mind and others do not .

Had my amateur calls ( WN8VMI & WB8VMI ) a little before obtaining my CB license in the mid-1970’s which was KAOG8548. I had a 23 Channel Regency mobile rig which I bought CHEAP when the 40-Channel radios were first being introduced.
