• 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.

seems like the most appropiate forum

Talk about jumping in the deep end

my apoligies if this is the wrong forum, seems like you lot know your stuff

iv'e just recently got the bug for frequencies, been doing a lot of reading and googleing,and always seem to be getting a lot of good info from RR.com

the reason i'm posting here is i would like to know what piece of equipment and software i need to ge,t to be able to tell me what frequencies are around where i live,

what i would ideally like is a graphical radar type gui that shows direction and distance to whatever is transmitting. This is purelly curiosity speaking

or more simply some type of instroment that will tell me what frequency it detects to say at about a distance of upto 100m and stores it in a date and time format for research later.

i've seen these frequency counters on ebay, but from what i understand so far is that you basicly need to be next to whatever is transmitting.

my scanner (UBC3500xlt with a 7cm & 2m attic J-Pole's) seems to pick up a lot, but its just noise, pretty sure ive got it set up right.
