• 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 picked up 2 HT 1000's (1 UHF and 1 VHF) and i was just wondering about the 3 bank switch. Can I have 16 different frequencies in each bank ( total of 48) or are the 16 frequencies the same for each bank?

Just trying to decide how I want this programmed before I pay to ship it out.

16 channels is the limit for those radios.

The 3 way switch controls scan on/off, talk around, low power, etc.

The three way ' A B C' switch is programmable with HT1000 RSS.

I use the B position for PL Disable/monitor and C for talkaround/direct.

MTS2000 top displays have 48 memories & work this way, not HT1000's. I don't understand why people still buy HT1000's because MTS2000's are just a few bucks more, & program with Windows run CPS.

Thanks for all the input I appreciate it. I think my next radio will definitely be an MTS

Last question regarding the ht1000, can the emergency button be programmed to work on select channels or does it have to be on for all if I choose to have it active?

In the radio I programmed for myself, I used the switch for banks. I had one for the base freqs, one for county FD freqs and one with the local 2m repeaters. Most of the radios used the switch for scanning and scan list selection.

The HT1000 does not support banks, and it does not support more than 16 channels.

The HT1000/JT1000/Visar Page

It is possible to assign TALKAROUND to one of the A-B-C positions but not multiple zones.

I have programmed about 300 or so of these over the last 20 years and back in 1997 took an actual Motorola class on the Jedi series. To get more than 1 zone or bank operation, a customer would have to buy an MT2000.

The HT1000, JT1000 and Visar all share similar controller hardware, with the exception being the JT1000 which has modified firmware an CPU to accommodate a display and FPP of the 16 channels. The EEPROM available for codeplug storage is not enough to support anything other than 16 channels. End of story.

The codeplug structure is the same: 1 zone of 16 channels. If you look at the S-records from any of these radios, you will see there is NO WAY to enable zone operation. 640 bytes of codeplug space is all that is available.

If you have set yours up for zone operation, what version of HT1000/JT100/Visar RSS are you using, and how does one select the option for zone operation? Don't see that as one of the choices. How were you able to add more than 1 zone in the S-record? How did you get more than 1 zone to fit in the 640 byte codeplug and get the radio firmware to recognize it?

FYI, the HT1000 A/B/C switch functions are pretty strict compared to the MTS series.

Basically what I mean is that there is a set list of possible combinations for what you can use the switch for on the HT1000s, whereas on the MTS series you can set them to whatever your heart desires.

Figured I'd just chime in with that, it struck me by surprise when I almost bought one, I ended up buying the MTS.
