• 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 am new to the Motorola radio stuff.

Trying to program an MCS2000 radio and a RIM-II module for Control Channel monitoring ONLY.

Does the system ID and other "trunking" settings matter when a radio is configured as an RF-Modem??

I have configured the Control Channel Freuency and have selected RF-Modem in the MCS2000 set-up but do not seem to be getting the Control Chanel data output I would have expected.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Your master site
So what did you do?

For others who are curious it doesn't matter what system id or TGs you have programed in. As long as you have any system programmed in for channel one via the Zone/Channel arrangement it will work. This is per the SWII guide IIRC.
