• 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.

IIi means that it is a hybrid system. So it will have a combination
of Type I and Type II user ID's.

You will be required to select a Fleet Map ,most newer radios have
16 or so preset in them, although this system looks like you will have to
make a custom map and put the size codes in the appropriate
blocks.

IIi means that it's IIi. Type IIi means Type II radios operating under a Type I fleetmap.

Hybrid means that some blocks are Type I and some are Type II. That is not the way the Albany systems are configured.

BTW, there are TWO trunked systems in the City of Albany. Most online listings (except my own website at NF2G.com) incorrectly show it as a single system or have some of the wrong frequencies assigned to each one.

Yes I mean Albany, NY. So if you wanted to trunk this system on one bank what's the Trunk type you would enter it into on a BC250D? CC seem to be 858.2125 for the whole system.

Motorola Type I and enter the fleet map with proper "S" codes (obtained
from Albany system site) in the appropriate blocks.
