• 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.

In the CPS when the RCS system in San Diego is programmed, on the trunking page under the Digital drop down you see Digital modulator type, how is it programmed,Wide,C4FM, CQPSK. Not sure what they mean. If anyone knows and has an explanation of them please post up.

From the CPS Help Files:

Digital Modulator Type (Trunking System, Digital)



Selects the Digital Modulator Type for the current Trunking System.


C4FM: Compatible 4-Level Frequency Modulation for non-simulcast operation
CQPSK: Compatible Quadrature Phase Shift Keying for narrowband simulcast operation.
Note: This function is available to radio models equipped with CAI (Common Air Interface) Digital Operation.
WIDE: Wideband simulcast operation
Note: Cannot be chosen if a Channel Bandwidth of 12.5 kHz is selected.
The factory default is "CQPSK" forASTRO25 Trunking
The factory default is "C4FM" for Type II Trunking

If you don't know which one to use, contact your System Administrator.
