• 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 Kenwood TK-790/690 Dual band single head radio installed in my fire department vehicle, which is interfaced with a Pyramid repeater/extender.

The previous officer to use the vehicle had a Kenwood handheld radio with a DTMF pad, which I believe was able to "steer" the channels on the mobile radio remotely. However, I have no idea what key(s) on the pad were used to remotely control the radio. I imagine it may be affected by the programming of the units, but I am curious if there is a "standard" or "default" set of DTMF tones that are used in this situation.

Any help is appreciated, as I have no reference to look back on at this point.

Thanks.

Try #01 through 16 or *01 through 16. These remote channel selectors received the tones, went back to the home channel and counted up through BCD. If you have a later one, you might be able to get to 99 channels in one group. It won't change groups, though...
