• 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.

My brother has a XTL5000 in his truck that he uses for our local FD. Our Dispatch Channel and 3 Unit to Unit Channels use MDC1200. Everthing works flawlessly on the radio! We just have one mystery. On key up (PPTID), the wait tone works but has a short little burst at the end. Listen Here: ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzJL8rYeMNAYRTNoYUE2YV84T1E/view?usp=sharing) my buddy is who does our programming is stumped too. Its still usable, but you just have to make sure you wait for the little burst. Thanks in advance!

Sounds like it's a clear TX tone. It has to do with the secure settings in the CPS. I forget the exact pathway, but it's a box that needs unchecked.

You have ptt sidetone enabled and using pre mdc id? Combined with clear tx tone? Disable ptt sidetone in your mdc settings or change it to short ptt side tone and or disable clear tx tone in the secure settings then try it.
