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.
Which Radio Service?

Could his next team project be an amphibious vessel? Leave the diesel intact to drive the rear wheels or propeller depending on the gearbox. Can you visualize that on the Interstate? That would be a photo-magnet too!

He could build a small fleet of haulers and ferries for commercial transport. It would be a great gig for truckers that are tired of traffic jams.

Those floods in Texas are sure inspiring people to think outside the box! Maybe he needs a marine radio?

Like the DUKW . . ought to be CBRS on land, Marine VHF as he drives down the loading ramp into the water.
(Sigh). But it’s just G-Pa’s pontoon boat with a funny cabin on it.
Well done though. Funny.
But, it should sound like this at cold start:

We had a mid 1970s Brockway with a 8V-71 that would hunt/bouncing off the governer like that old ship! I drove that thing a few times when I was younger, had the wet line (which was a big deal, no pony motor!). All steel fenders, steel hood, steel cab, steel doors, steel floors lol....radio? What radio lol! Very cool boat idea though, that Pete cab looks good on there. Tip to the next guy: don't use the heavy steel cabs from the old trucks, they will sink deeper than the Titanic lol!

Yeah, an old Marmon or Western Star cab would create a sunken reef addition.
