• 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.

Good afternoon,
Im currently using a BKR5000 and when I hit the push to talk my screen shows A,B,C,D on the screen with the option to select one of those with the softkeys. I'm curious what this is and how do can I disable it?

When in doubt, click the Help menu and browse/search the Help Doc(s) first, as you'll find what you are after much quicker. It's surprising, as much as BK fails on execution of everything they do... the help documentation in RES does contain a lot of useful detail.

The tick boxes you are looking for are "DTMF Live Dial", there are two locations where this can be enabled. The global is on the Common tab, the per channel is ... well per channel. I am always learning something new so if anyone is aware of another place this can be set or if I'm way off on the original request please chime in!
