• 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.

helppp!!!!!

Hi fellas, Im new to the whole trunking idea and i just got a Uniden bc246t. I can't figure out any way to find talkgroups for motarola Radios or what lcn means for ltr or edacs can someone clear this up for me because I look in the radio refeence guide and all it shows is frequencies and inputs. Where can I find trunking talk group ids? If any One from around the Dutchess County Area has these Talk groups or Lcn Or whatever please Let Me know!
Big Help Because I dont even know how to program anything in it. Im not new to scanning I just dont understand how to figure out LCN, Ltr, or talkgroup IDS

LCN = Logical Channel Number. In this RR database for EDACS & LTR systems, there is a small number in front of each frequency listed. That is the LCN and you MUST put that freq. in that exact channel in the radio.
Talk group IDs are listed under the freqs. in the database. If you tell us what state Duchess County is in maybe we can help more.

Your master site
SCATSCAN44, please, ask one time in one appropriate forum. If the question has to do with Motorola trunking and is not specific to a scanner then post it here. If it revolves around a scanner, put it in the correct manufacturer's forum. If it has to do with a local trunked system, put it in the correct State forum. Thanks.
