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.

Won't do it. It's possible using 2 tone or 5 tone but with DCS? No.
Ehhh... maybe.
Your radios are transmitting ANI and a squelch code, but the two items are independent. A 'foreigner' who ignores the CTCSS or DCS squelch code (carrier squelch) could see your ANI. Squelch codes don't make your comms private, only make it possible for you to ignore the rest of the world or access a repeater. It all depends on how the 'foreigners' are programmed. Someone wanting to ferret out your ANI's can get them.
I also recall that the Icom radios will decode 5-tone data when in a 'muted' condition, if the code meets the received mask and an "OR' condition is on the memory channel line.
Bottom line for any radio communication: if you don't want it out there don't transmit it. Someone, somewhere will figure it out.
