• 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 that will work just fine

Anybody have luck with a Code 3 Brand Siren? Are they good quality and does the Spectra PA (HLN1185) module work well with it? (aka it doesn't blow the speaker and doesn't show a false speaker short).

Thanks! :)

Just keep hearing that the Spectra PA is somewhat picky about the speaker you attach to it, even if it is rated 100 Watts and 11 ohms.

Ok I just did what you are trying to do so Iwill try to anwser all the questions once and for all.

#1 as other have have said the speaker does not care about polarity it does care about impedence it must be 11 ohms and the power rating of the speaker must be at least 100 watts or the PA unit will report speaker short.

#2 the dek box plugs into the A9 head at the VIP connector with the short black cable. The mic remains in the mic connector on the A9 head

#3 when the s9000 unit is placed in extrad or pa mode the volume is controlled by the volume rocker on the control head but output power is not limited to 30 watts it is still capable of 100 watts only limited by the volume level set by the operator.

Just for those who have to take a stab at putting other peoples projects down. I also use radio external and PA function all the time to monitor the radio when out of vehicle. As it is not legal to rebroadcast public service traffic over ham channels.
