• 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.

Somehow I’ve gotten this radio into a mode where the SCN annunciator always flashes, regardless of the position of the SCAN and PRI switches (both of which are programed to Scan and access Priority channel 1, respectively).

Even when I take every channel out of a group’s scan list AND the “Group Scan” checkbox is not checked, the SCN annunciator still flashes.

I programed this radio from the software. I’m presuming I’ve mangled some setting.

I’ve got mostly NFM channels in the radio, mixed with a few (<20) P25 channels.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? If not, in a few days, I’ll probably wipe the radio, and then refill it, uploading one GRP at a time until I re-encounter the problem.

(Or I could re-program it by hand… How long could it take to load 500 channels? Ha Ha Ha)

Thanks for any help.

HI, guys. It turned out I had Group Scan enabled via the keyboard FCN. So even though there were no frequencies in any group scan-enabled (and no GRP in GRP scan), the radio kept scanning a null list. Ain't technology wonderful?

Thanks to all those who helped.

That's exactly what I was going to tell you Arthur. In the programming you can delete that or keep it. The FNC button has 3 functions that you can use.
