• 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.

Anytone AT-D868UV Scan hangs on non-DMR digital signal

I am using the Anytone HT to monitor a commercial DMR system. It works fine when monitoring the input of a repeater and the simplex HT to HT transmissions. However on the output side of the repeater, there is another non-DMR digital control channel that is constantly on. When the repeater transmits, I can hear the output fine if I am on that channel. Even though I have the CC and Timeslot programmed to the correct repeater output, the non-DMR signal causes the scan to hang on that channel. The signal strength meter goes up and down and the Anytone just continues to hang on that channel instead of continuing to scan. I tried changing this to a D+A channel and even by trying a PL tone on the receive to get it to ignore the non-digital signal, but nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on how to get the Anytone HT to ignore the 24 hour a day non-DMR control channel signal?

Thanks.

Most of these types of rigs don't have the best (properly filtered) receivers. Although it sounds somewhat counter-intuitive, do whatever you can to minimize the received signal. Try a lesser antenna. Maybe even attenuation might help (if available). The goal would be to minimize the interference from the unwanted signal while still remaining able to receive the desired signal.
