• 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'm wanting to set up a Motorola Quantar as a P25 repeater with multiple talkgroups for our FD. My thought was to set up a talkgroup for each district. Each talkgroup would have the same NAC but different TGID. We will be running XTS2500 VHF / XTL2500 VHF units on the system. One drawback is that the XTS2500 does not have a PTT connect tone option (that I know of) so you wouldn't know if you successfully hit the repeater or covered another transmission from one of the other TGs.

We will still have 3 other analog conventional repeaters for our fire runs. Just thinking about setting this one up of medical runs so not to tie up the other channels.

Anyone have experience with this type, or similar, set up? Advise or thoughts?

If you set the "Smart PTT Type" to "Inhibit on Status Symbols" (under the Conventional Personality) on the XTS2500/5000, the radio will do a pretty good job of preventing someone from transmitting on top of someone else on the same or a different talkgroup.
