Does anyone have any experience in programming/usage of an actual LTR radio,.. Motorola, EFJ or Tait?

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.

Yes Tait does both LTR, and MPT....
Anyway I totally forgot to ask my main question: In your professional opinion,.. are LTR's easier to program, maintain etc than say Motorola/EDACS? And is there a factual unbiased comparison as to performance anywhere?
Thanks for the info about Tait.
Reference your question, I have never programmed/maintained a Motorola or an EDACS system so I really don't know. I have managed several LTR systems now for about 10 years, and that is the extent of my trunking knowledge, (except I do know a little about PassPort since it is an enhanced LTR protocol).
I can say however that a Kenwood LTR radio is much easier and faster to program than a Motorola LTR radio.
