• 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.

A system I am listening to uses Harris' Dynamic Patching or System Assigned IDs as well as Multiselect/Simulselct.

So, that means when a particular police agency on this system broadcasts a priority call to the entire agency or county-wide, such as an armed robbery or shooting, the system will randomly assign one of these dynamic talkgroups from a predetermined list by the sysadmin rather than an "all-call" or "fleetwide" talkgroup. The system also will assign these when they establish a temporary patch to a neighboring system or a V-TAC frequency for interagency comms. This particular system uses a block between 65100-65200.

I am a TV news photographer overnight, so I need to be able to hear these priority dispatches and patches on my Unications when I am outside of the car away from my Unidens which I have the talkgroups all programmed into.

Is there a way to program a range of talkgroups for this or any other workaround to hear these while I am scanning my Fire and PD talkgroups? If not, this is a HUGE limitation for anyone using these on Harris systems...

The only sort of work around I can think of is to add a wild card, but then you'll get every talk group. You can not enter a TG range on the Unication.
