• 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 have my late Dads old radios so I don't know much about them. I do know they are all the same, look like new and all work. They have the FM Transceiver A & B keypads.
My questions are;
What is the range in miles?
About how old are these?
How do I find out the Freq. range?

On the back side it shows VX-10 (4X)

Thanks,

Range really depends

As with any hand held, range varies as much as the number of people on earth. Simples 0.5 to 5 miles hand held to hand held line of sight. Maybe a little more than 5 miles to a base. 10 miles to 50 miles through 1 repeater. However, should have license to transmit on ALL frequencies except for FRS. But I am not certain it is certified for the GMRS, FRS frequencies. Someone else might know this.

The VX 10 is a 4 watt UHF normally 40 channel radio normal frequency range is 400-470mz and was produced in 1995-2000

It was designed for commerical and public safety use. It can be programmed into the ham bands as well.

It takes a older software that is hard to find but is still around.

As robertmac said, range depends on a lot of things.
