• 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.

What Dual Service GMRS Radios Are Still Available New?

I see that the Cobra MR HH450 portable is still available new. It has both FRS/GMRS and VHF marine band. I know that FCC Part 95 no longer allows "dual service" radios.

What other dual-service radios are still available new (grandfathered in) that are FCC Part 95 type accepted?

What other services were offered over the years along with FRS/GMRS? I sort of recall a Yaesu/Vertex/Standard years ago that was more than one service. Maybe it was FRS and Marine. Was there ever an AM VHF handheld that also has FRS or GMRS from Yaesu/Vertex/Standard?

Yes, I know that Kenwood had some Part 90/95 radios in the past.

Was there ever a FRS/GMRS/MURS radio that received FCC Part 95 type acceptance?

I have an HX407 and it's supposed to do UHF also, but I haven't had any luck programming it. I've tried YCE13 and CE129. I think it requires CE138v2, but I haven't come up with that.
