• 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 picked up a Talkpod for giggles and for a toss in the glovebox HT i'm pretty happy with the capabilities. However, I have found something thats driving me UP THE WALL. Something I haven't seen discussed yet or at least fixed where i could duplicate it on my HT.

It has to do with the two displayed "Channels" Call them A and B.

When the radio is on and the two channels are displayed the "Main" icon illuminates with the Channel that will be transmitted on with the PTT depressed. However Main is on A, and B channel receives a transmission it switches to B channel and when you PTT it now tx on B instead of A. Pressing the A/B button does the same thing but its a conscious act and you know what your tx on. It also rears its head when you are trying to scroll up or down on A or B and the non selected channel flips over to the other and now your scrolling up or down on the wrong thing. Same with settings if your in the menu and trying to adjust something any rx will snap it out and your scrolling thorough channels again.

Anybody have a setting or idea of what to try next :) ive tried tdr off, it takes away the dual watch function and if you want to hear whats going on you have t manual move the main icon with the A/B button. The tx A/B doesnt seem to effect anything with mine with regards to this issue.
