• 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.

F1100DT bandwidth

In addition to the business frequencies I use for work, I am wanting to program an additional zone into an F1100DT for receive only on local railroad frequencies. I don't see a place in the programming software to set the nxdn bandwidth to 6.25 khz or "VN". Is that necessarily the default bandwidth on the F1100? If it is then I should be good to go or if not then where in the software would I find the bandwidth setting for nxdn? I am seeing it for analog but not for nxdn.

Some of the lower tier Icom iDAS radios only do 6.25KHz "very narrow" NXDN. That radio only does narrow band analog or very narrow NXDN, so that's your only option on the NXDN side.

Ahh, ok, from looking at the channel spacing of the AAR digital channels it looks like they will be using 6.25 KHz very narrow NXDN so I should be good to go with just programming the frequencies in mixed digital mode and setting the coded squelch type to off so it receives all transmissions regardless if they use a RAN or not.

The frequencies at work are analog FM narrow with CTCSS so I don't need to worry about digital settings there.

Should work just fine.
