• 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.

I have a "command" pager that I receive my pages on (Motorola Flex), and what I am wanting to know is can I put in more than one cap code? I ask because I program radios, not pagers.

I have a Motorola Advisor Elite pager that we all use at work.
There are slots for 16 (may be 12) capcodes.
Mine for example, has the main capcode for my pager and then all my supervisors also have a "group" capcode so I can send a page to just that group of people if needed.

About six or seven of the capcode slots are filled with the Datacast service capcodes.
And yes, this is a flex pager.

It's been a while since I've needed to program any of them but I seem to recall issues where certain combinations of capcodes would not work for some reason.
I only say that because once we had two users that needed to receive each others pages in addition to the group capcode.
One worked and he was paged when the other person received a page but the other one would not receive the other person's pages regardless of what slot we put the capcode in. I could put the other capcode in the 1st slot and it worked but then of course he did not get his pages. I only did that to make sure that pager did not have an issue with the capcode for some reason.

Good luck with whatever it is you are trying to do.
