• 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.

Just a curiosity for the community here, I have a kenwood TK-5310 and a Kenwood TK-3180 both side by side for work (one personal radio and one work radio.) When dispatch keys up or an ambulance in the field keys up, the 3180 squelch opens up quickly and the 5310 seems to lag, maybe by 3-5ms or so before the squelch opens on it, leading to an occasional first syllable being cut off. Anyone else ever noticed this or have any ideas as to setting in the software that may affect this?

My gut instinct is the DSP in the 5310 is the cause. 3180 has no idea what DSP is and PL/DPL decode and audio comes right off the discriminator. I personally have not done those two radio side-by-side but I have had a Motorola straight analog radio and a digital capable radio running in analog side by side and I have noticed the same thing.
