I have several HT1250's and never had this problem, programmed a HT750 the same way and noticed a problem. We use push button talkaround and when the HT750 goes to talkaround the radio does not tx the MDC code. yet the HT1250's all do. On the repeater both radios will tx the MDC. any thoughts

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'm not specifically familiar with the HT750, but traditionally MDC PTT-ID was intended to be transmitted only to a dispatch console, since until recently only dispatch consoles incorporated MDC decoders capable of decoding and displaying the PTT-ID. So it doesn't surprise me that a low-end radio would be firmware programmed to ignore PTT-ID when operating simplex.
I just dont understand why the HT-1250 and HT-1550 will do it on Talkaround but the HT-750 doent

Try programming a seperate channel as the talk around to that repeater, and make sure you set it to transmit the MDC ID on that channel. This will tell you if there is a problem with using the button as T/A as opposed to a seperate channel. Downfall is having to use a channel for a simplex to a repeater but it should work.
