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.

what kind of beep are you trying to do?
It sounds like what you actually want is the repeater to beep when the radio user unkeys (lets go of the push-to-talk switch). I don't believe there's any way in programming for the 2180/3180 to know if it hit the repeater or not.
The proceed tone is generated in the radio and simply tells you when the radio has finished sending its PTT ID (if you have PTT ID enabled). This wouldn't take a repeater into consideration at all, you could be on a simplex channel or not in range of any other radio equipment at all. And the release tone is sent over the frequency by the radio so that other users know you have finished talking (and not that you've just lost connection to the repeater). Neither of these, unfortunately, will tell the end user whether or not he's reached the repeater himself.

The correct software for the TK3180 is the KPG-89D, this is what I use for mine. According to Kenwood Programming Information, the KPG-92D is for the European version of the TK3180.
What you want to do is available for LTR trunked systems only. If you are trying to access a conventional repeater no such beep exists.
