Hi, I have multiple HT1000 units and a single XTS5000 and I would like to be able to use paging and radio ID to distinguish who is speaking but am having some difficulty with the CPS getting it configured. Is is even possible to so this with out using trunking?

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.
Will MCD-1200 work with conventional complex?

Yea It will work. But I have no clue what conventional complex is.
Afternoon, hope the following helps:
MDC-1200 transmits unique identifiers as programmed per radio if selected for BOT - Beginning of Transmission, or EOT - End of Transmission.
The XTS5000 requires feature code H14 - Enhanced Digital ID Display to show radio IDs or aliases for those IDs on the screen of the XTS... which is I assume how you're planning to visually observe these IDs (rather than a console or PC-SDR with MDC decoding). You will not be able to successfully program an XTS to display radio IDs or aliases on the front panel screen without a flashcode that includes H14 in the radio.
MDC is a conventional-only signalling mode. It does not apply for trunking, as SmartZone/SmartNet and P25 trunked systems use two entirely different protocols for unit signalling that are separate from MDC.
Likewise, I don't know whether 'complex' is intended to mean simplex or duplex, but it doesn't matter - MDC works on (well, nearly) any conventional system passing analog FM audio... so long as there are radios that can encode it and radios that can decode it.

Sorry meant to say Conventional Simplex.
