I am having issues programming vote scan for conventional P25 system. When editing the scan list the P25 conventional channels are showing up red but the analog channels are showing up as usable. I cannot figure out why the P25 conventional channels are not able to be used. Appreciate any help/guidance.

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.

I also have a question about vote scan for analog conventional channels and wanted to know if it is possible to set up vote scan for these type of channels. I tried adding such channels to the scandal list and they were coming up as red and unable to be used. Does anybody know if it is possible to set up a vote scan for analog conventional channels or just for conventional P 25 etc. Thank you for assistance and appreciate any guidance of suggestions that could be helpful.
It is possible to set up Voting Scan for analog channels - I run it on a daily basis since our state police agency uses an analog multicast system. When configured correctly, it works just like roaming would on a digital system. That is, of course, provided you have the Conventional Voting Scan option enabled in your flashcode (assuming you do).
You cannot, however, have both analog and P25 channels in the same Voting Scan list as that will be marked invalid by CPS. I would advise creating two separate personalities, as it sounds to me like you might have analog and P25 in the same one. This will make things easier to configure.
Check out the attached screenshots from APX CPS which discuss valid field configurations if you haven't already. There's a lot to pay attention to, and it's important to remember that your personality, scan list, and zone/channel config must all align. Send a screenshot if you're still having trouble.
