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 is your GMRS call sign?

WRPK492 I will be 72yo when I renew my license. Live in Seymour TN - George - Would like some Noob advice, Like ELI5 (Explain it to me like Im 5), mainly about how to get the repeater programmed in on my UV5r... and if there are any other tips or tricks with GMRS. Cant seem to make the first contact..
You should probably open your own thread on this. Just FYI, the UV5R is not Part 95 certified, which means technically speaking, it isn't legal to operate on GMRS. Is anybody going to care? Probably not. Just wanted to throw it out there so that you are aware.
Secondly, GMRS repeaters aren't necessarily open repeaters, like exist in amateur radio. You should write the repeater owner to request access. They will give you the information you need, CTCSS/DCS tones, etc. to access the system.
Thirdly, GMRS isn't really a service for random contacts. Do random contacts happen? Yes. But if you think you are going to flip through the channels and contact random people, you're using the wrong service. GMRS is mostly families, kids with walkie talkies, etc. who are not looking to make contacts with random people.
Was on 11meter for a long time now on gmrs for more local talk.
