I have Harnett county programmed into my g5 but cannot receive any traffic other than “Fire Response”. All TGIDs are programmed for the Tac channels but nothing is being received for those. According to RR they are not encrypted. All CC are programmed as well as towers. Anyone have any insight as to what the issue could be?

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.

How many (and which) specific sites do you have programmed, also double check your WACN and System ID are programmed correctly.
You might want to try this...
Set up one of your G5 zones (lets assume you're going to listen at your house) to only use one site that is closest to your house. (Don't add any other sites). Set it with TG's you want to scan etc...
I'm not too familiar with VIPER, but maybe with too many sites added to your system, the G5 could be locking on to one of the other sites before the one you actually need. The problem is "the other site" may not host radio traffic for your particular area. Hence you hear nothing, except maybe an areawide or statewide talkgroup stuff only. I hope I explained that right? LOL

I am using a g5 on viper I have found if you are trying to hear certain talk groups in a county just program it couple of sites for example I live on north side of the county and fish on the south side will I program just the 2 sites that are on the north side so I can still hear the northside will on the south side. You got to remember the g5 works like a radio it doesn’t scan all the sites it locks on to one and it holds on that site until the signal is lost
Make sure the RFSS and Site info are in HEX and not DEC.
Then make sure your using the matching control channel (and alternate control channel) for the correct site your programming in.
To test this out set the knob position as Trunking TG monitor. this will pass all audio on the site. If this works, then you can modify it for the TG you want to hear.
Is the agency you want to hear geographically close to the tower you are picking up?
