• 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.

I have a set of IC F4031T handheld radios that I would like to program to join a set of Kenwood TK-3402U16P. The kenwood radios are programmed with DQT on each channel and while I can just remove it from a couple of channels to allow the two brands to interact I would like to know if someone can explain to me how to program the Icom to be compatible with say... DQT D343I. The QT settings were simple selections from a drop down menu from CS-F3020/F5010/F5020 rev 3.4 but the DQT selections are not so straight forward.

Any intelligent response is appreciated.

In the C. Tone menu, there should be an option DTCS at the top of the list. Choose this, and the CTone box turns into a standard text box you can type your chosen DCS/DTCS/DQT/DPL code into

On Kenwood radios, DQT is the term used for DCS.
In your example, DQT D343I,
D = Digital
343 is the DCS/DQT code
"I" means it's inverted. You can use the drop down DQT menu to select the correct one.

Let me know if that doesn't work and I can dig into that software a bit more.
