Can LTR Passport transmissions be monitored if you enter the system frequencies in conventional mode?

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.

Yes, they just may not make sense... since Passport is a form of trunking you may hear multiple different conversations on different talkgroups back to back on the same frequency, and you'll have no way of telling them apart other than by ear. Also Passport frequencies usually send out an idle burst every 3-5 seconds that sounds like a click as the repeater keys up with dead air, and this can get pretty annoying.
I recommend programming all the frequencies for the site you want to listen to with delay turned OFF (so it won't get stuck on a frequency's idle burst). Then if you're trying to follow a conversation that left the channel, just keep scanning to find it again.

Thanks for the info. I pass through one city that has this system but I'm not there long enough to ever hearing anything other than the annoying clicks.
Speak of that 3 to 5 second click. Do you know what the difference with the one that does it every 3 to 5 seconds and the one that does it about once every second?

every second
I also get several frequencies in the 460. mhz band that I get the keyup every second, drives me crazy.

Channels that pulse slowly are either misconfigured, or are not collect channels, or are not PassPort channels.Skud said:
Collect channels should always be programmed to pulse every second; if they aren't, subscriber radios will take forever to roam from site to site; do the math - [neighbour list with five neighbour sites] x [monitor each neighbour frequency for at least 5 seconds to pick up an idle burst] = you gotta be joking.
Home channels can pulse at a slower rate, since a slow pulse rate would only cause a slight delay in registering for homed radios when they get powered up.
