• 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.

i live in henrico county va. we have a regional digital system here, covering a few juristicions. i have a question about how fire/rescue is dispatched, better yet alerted. one of the tac channals on the system is our FRAP activation. i guess the best way to explain it is that it seems simular to minitor pager activations, yet this is done on a digital system and on different tacs. i dont know what FRAP stands for, but i do you that it sets off buzzers and bells to the specific building that houses the unit that a call is going to be dispatched for. when i listen to the system, i here a digital burst of info on one tac, and then a moment later an alert tone and the dispatch on the "true" dispatch tac. my question is, is it possible to build my own little FRAP devise that will only activate when i want it to? im a member of a local rescue squad and sometimes it would be nice to just here the calls for my rescue squad rather than all the other fire calls that go out
