• 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.

All,
I am hiring experienced LMR radio techs in Houston and Phoenix. Pays 65-90k depending on experience. Must be great at MOTOTRBO, also looking for as many of the following as possible: console/P25/simulcast/SIP/Vesta/Avtec/BDA-DAS/IP networking/cable sweeping/site optimization/etc.

I would really prefer folks who can go in front of customers without me or a salesperson standing over them in case the tech goes off the rails. The experienced guys know what I am talking about.

Have some experience, but not a guru (like a Hammy or scanner head that wants into the industry and is not afraid of manual labor)? Reach out to me.

Phoenix shop is in Tempe, AZ
Houston shop is in South Houston

Thank you, Ty Calta (TampaTyron).

Ty, I wish I had this employment opportunity 30 years ago. When I retired as a police officer for 35 years, I worked in 2 two-way radio shops, with my previous knowledge as a coordinator of a Motorola 800 MHz. two-channel multi-site Spectra-Tac system I was given the responsibility of the development, purchasing, installation, and implementation of our system in a western suburban police agency west of Chicago. The system worked fine but we always had challenges with phone line failures, portable radios (MX-340's) that were "Plan X'ed" after 3 repairs, and the usual daily "issues" with a technology that has never been used before. This side responsibility was while I was a detective handling my cases and other activities of a municipal police department.

I'm an active Extra Class Amateur Radio operator and have been a moderator of one of the largest scanner/radio monitor organizations in the Metro Chicago suburbs, known as CARMA (The Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association). We still meet a few times a year for socializing, technical presentations, and general communications updates at a local restaurant. Whew! Way more information than you needed or wanted. I just wish I could turn back the hands of time, being younger to be able to handle the tasks you are looking for in an associate.

Ok, this made my morning, as I know exactly what you mean, and it might be the hardest part of this position to fill. The last technician I had onsite (not Air Comm or even your state), went off on lizard aliens that are running the country as politician's. He might be right, but you do not bring that up to a customer that is installing a new microwave link for a P25 simulcast site.

As for your Tempe, AZ site....take good care of your engineer, he has a lot of experience in the area and with customer's.....try to replicate him and you will be fine, although that may be a tall order as well.

Good luck in your search.
