Still learning alot about this system, my question is that I see VHF freqs going P25. Always thought this system was 800MHZ. Someone shed some light.

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.

Sounds like you are asking about a Specific Governmental P25 System.
P25 can be VHF, UHF, 800, 900
P25 can be Conventional or Trunked.
your best to post in your Regional Forum and be specific as to Which System is using P25

P25 does not depend on frequency band. It is a waveform that can be transmitted on any frequency it is authorized on, so you will see P25 (and other digital formats, too) being implemented on any band the equipment is manufactured in.
Thanks guys! Here in Arkansas were seeing alot of Police and Sheriff Dept. going to the AWIN System which is APCO P25 and their in the VHF range.

From personal experience I would suggest any jurisdiction considering going to a P-25 trunked system to use a structured band. VHF is an absolute combining nightmare, especially when you have every jurisdiction in a given area licensing any freq's they can get a hold of with no regard to bordering jurisdictions.
