• 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.

DO NOT ASK ME FOR HELP PROGRAMMING YOUR RADIO. NO.
I've had erratic ProVoice receive issues with my M5300 mobile radio for some time now.

I had to get off my lazy backside and program up a P7100 (also with ProVoice) to verify this.
Occasionally, ProVoice transmissions come across that are clear to the P7100 and are just random noises
on the M5300.

The P7100 proves that the garbled transmissios are in fact ProVoice and not encrypted.

The weird thing is, once this happens, the M5300 won't properly decode ProVoice transmissions on that
talkgroup for quite some time. And then it'll work fine with ProVoice for a while.

It's pretty random except that when the problem crops up, it tends to stay in that state for a while.

Although my antenna installation is "stealth" rather than "high performance", it's good enough. Signal strength readings via the FCC menu are plenty good enough. So I don't have any reason to believe that
the problem has any bearing on signal strength.

Got any ideas?
