• 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.

Mods, feel free to move this if I'm in the wrong place.

We have an old Zetron Model 10 encoder that we're trying to get to work again. Does anyone happen to have a book for this thing? (we can't find it)

I can get it to tone out single tone pairs (I think it's set for a standard 100 call group) (e.g. 22 gives a long 630Hz tone), but I need more than those 10 tones... (or a bunch of new reeds for our old pagers...)

unless I'm missing something, i can't find the manual for it.

Nothing's wrong with it, I just want to know how to program it for different code groups (the two DIP switch banks)

Those old Zetron encoders (100 call) were limited to a single code group. When you ordered them you had to specify a code group or the X group (custom). If you want to change groups, Zetron will then have to blow you a new prom, but alas you will be limited to one group only again.

Got it. I'll tell the folks at work that if they really want this old encoder to work, they'll have to re-reed some minitor II's... (God knows what that would cost...)

Friggin' government... try to use old crap, then ***** when it doesn't work (maybe that was why it was taken out of service in the first place?)
