Before I commit to buying, quick question? Does this have the ability to transmit a radio id number? Or a PTT ID NUMBER?

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.

Baofeng UV-5R transmitted ID
Menu item 15 is ANI (automatic number identification) which can only be set via software, not from the front of the radio. I checked it on my radio and indeed it can not be changed from the keypad. My unit was shipped with ID 80808 installed.

The Baofeng uses DTMF as its ANI. It only sends 0-9 and a-d as dtmf tones. The only alphanumeric radios are the Puxing px-888k and the tyt dualband radio which uses MSK that is different from MDC1200

I'll also add that the Baofeng sends the DTMF ID so painfully slow that it will probably screw up any repeaters you try to use it on that are controlled by DTMF. Not to mention, annoy everyone else.
