• 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 have not been able to mute any incoming MDC data on any of out XG100P radios. I asked about it and the Harris TAC did not know what I was talking about...

Have him listen to any NYPD radio traffic... hahaha I think MDC1200 DOS can be found in hip hop tracks also... it is true not being stereotypical. 😂
But all jokes aside you may be correct... MDC DOS between radios without a repeater only works Motorola to Motorola from the factory without any special attachments. On other units such as vertex standard you need the VMDE-2000 signaling board installed and programmed. I believe kenwoods have their own in-radio accessory

Oh yes, I use MDC on 2 of my repeaters and DOS is a must. I can't stand to hear MDC, but I love the features. I also had a Kenwood that would not mute MDC data, so I got rid of it.
