I was wondering if anyone had software for it and/ or someone could either program it for me or lend me the programming cable. Thank you very much. 

A pretty good free software package is CHIRP, available from:

It lists support for your V8.  I use it for my cheap Baofeng HTs and once getting used to how it operates, it was fairly easy to use.
