• 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.

Would it be possible to use a CDM1550 to scan an LTR network? I am not really familiar with LTR or how it works so I figured I would ask and see if anyone with more experience knew. Does it work the same way as a P25 network where you can affiliate or does the radio not log into the system like other trunking systems?
Thanks

What exactly are you trying to listen to?
LTR sure but LTR network? If your meaning PassPort LTR, then NO.

LTR by design does not have subscribers affiliate. It would not be able to operate in its decentralized nature if they did.

Systems that have subscribers register (or login or affiliate) have dedicated control channels and the input side is where the subscriber affiliates.

Passport systems have the registration channel - and that’s kind of how it got it’s name.

So how do I tell if it is Passport? The description says its a "hybrid" in the sense that it operates like an LTR system that uses Passport devices. Is this still operable? If the radio were to affiliate does the console have the ability to stun or kill the radio as P25 does? I might not even be able to get into this system but extra knowledge in the noggin doesn't hurt.

The LTR heartbeat sounds different with passport....... normal ltr has a heartbeat every on every frequency every 7-10 seconds (dont remember exactly how long). I think passport had a continuous transmitting control channel or a heartbeat every couple of seconds. Haven,t dealt with passport in 10 years or so........ TT
