• 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.

All,

I could find anthing on this topic so if it was diccussed before, please point me in the right direction.
I've seen documentation that in 12.5 NXDN you could use Voice/ Voice Data/ Voice or Data/ Data. It has been vague at best. What does this mean? Can you have one channel programmed to have two conversations going at the same time using FDMA?
Thanks!!

No, you can't have two voice talk paths on 12.5 NXDN, only one.

12.5KHz NXDN (AKA NXDN Narrow) uses a 9.6KB data rate, where 6.25KHz NXDN (AKA NXDN Very Narrow) uses a 4.8KB data rate.

Voice traffic is just that, digital voice traffic on the channel.
Voice/Data can combine voice traffic with some slow speed data. That slow speed data can be radio ID/name, GPS data, etc.
Data would be just data.
