• 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.

Odd conventional systems behaviour Jag 700p

I had to rewrite a profile for a Jag 700p from scratch, and it all works as I expect except for an odd quirk in the conventional systems I have created.
When receiving on a conventional channel, the mute opens, but the little receive indicator 'antenna' symbol doesn't show up. Sometimes the audio will cut in and out rapidly and then the antenna symbol will flash... but that's the only time it lights up on a conventional system.
When scanning, the scan will stop and open mute on finding a signal, and will sometimes randomly resume scanning... but the display never shows the scanned channel, only the channel where scan was commenced from.
The conventional systems are as simple as can be, no PL / CTCSS, no DPL / DCS, no audible tone selective calling schemes either.
Any ideas what's wrong?

Solved: found that receiving conventional analog signals exhibits these problems when the channel & conventional system are programmed for digital voice.
Only problem is, some channels are genuinely needed for digital voice & analog. Not sure how to overcome that issue.

I have a similar setup but I programmed mine with 1 channel as strictly analog and the other as digital, so you have to manually switch between the two. Is this not what you want?

That might work... bit inefficient on memory though (yeah, old 8-bit assembly coder habits die hard).

Just for interests sake, I crammed the same profile into an LPE200, and found that it doesn't have the same 'problem' so I guess its Jaguar firmware related.
