Hello all, I have a stupid question. How do you determine if a TRS is 3600 or 9600?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

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.

There's a web site out there that has various sound bites of control channels, EDACS, Motorola 3600, Encryption, P-25 digital, etc...
I don't know it off the top of my head.

Do ya'll know what the difference is, would 9600 have better coverage or something, I checked the info on RR's site here, but unless I missed it, it didn't give much info on what the differences where.
Just curious btw...

3600, as is most Motorola systems in Ohio (for now) with the exception of a in SW Ohio (Hamilton County/Cincinnati, Oxford, etc...)

Actually, for anybody that has a Pro-96, if you go Manual on a cc look at the bottom right hand corner and you'll see M36:"ID" . Does the M36 say what it would be?

They are system design differences.
3600 is the Motorola proprietary system no longer in production
9600 is the P25 standard system.
EDACS is also 9600, but is not at all related to P25.

Learn something new everyday. I didn't know that about EDACS.

Huh? Then, how are they still selling mixed-mode Analog & Digital systems such as ones in Lake County, Summit, and Stark County in Ohio and others across the country?

Good point. I didn't even think about that.

I gues if you beg you might get a mixed mode system, but it is noit what they would consider a current system.

No begging about it. If you request a mixed-mode Analog/Digital system, you should be able to get it as long as you pay for it. Just like a P-25 system. those 3600 baud systems aren't done just yet. they are still thriving and I'm sure Motorola is still selling them

All depends on the features you need.
It is getting harder and harder.

Actually, If you signed a contract with Motorola tommorrow, you would not be able to buy a mixed mode system. Keep in mind that large systems can take 5 years or longer from signing of a contract to system acceptance. You get what the contract states. Motorola maintains a in depth time-line of all their revisions, from sales dates through end of life, they know how long a system will be supported before they even start selling it.
