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.
New Issue - 1 selective Call, 1 monitor, same knob. Possible?

NOPE one or the other per knob
Kinda defeats the purpose. lol. In the monitor position, I wouldn't be able to hear dispatches. And in the selective call position, I wouldn't be able to hear fireground.
So, I've come to find that this is incorrect. Because when I monitor local PD, the Dispatch channel stays silent unless the two-tone pair received. Exactly how I'd PREFER it to work with Firegound
In summary:
WORKS:
TG-SCAN:
PRIORITY: DISPATCH TG. My town Sub-group Selected. Alternatives UNselected
NON-PRIORITY: PD TG. My town Sub-group selected(even though it is useless.) Alternatives SELECTED. ( If I don't choose the sub group, this automatically unchecks ).
Works as intended. PD monitors, but if a call comes in that has the two-tone pair, it activates
DOES NOT WORK:
TG-SCAN
PRIORITY: DISPATCH TG. My town Sub-group Selected. Alternatives UNselected.
NON-PRIORITY: FIREGROUND. My town Sub-group selected (Pointless, but as before if I dont do this, Alternatives revert to unchecked.). Alternatives checked.
Does NOT work as intended. Hear all fireground communications as I should. But also hear EVERY other town getting dispatched. That dispatch channel just doesn't stay shut unless the two-tone pair received, as it DOES do when I'm listening to PD.
Something is off. . . Probably with my understanding, but I'm hoping to rectify. I have to program a ton of pagers soon, and would prefer to give a knob position where Fireground can be monitored without sacrificing the pager activation.
