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.
APX conventional TPT?

Triple, just like trunking.

what if I use DVRS and TX in the clear? would TPT become super long like: di di di, di di di, di
Have exact same requirement.
I cant get it to function, will revisit it after taking eyes off screen for while.
I tried this on two p25 conv repeaters, one running secure and one clear. Upgraded CPS 31.00.01 and fw to r30.04.00
Aside from selecting the Talk Permit Tone checkbox, did you have to make any other adjustments. Radio is transmitting fine but no TPT
From the Help File in CPS, (When this field is enabled, the repeater's drop out delay must be enabled with the delay set to at least 1 s.)
ruled this out as hang time is over that amount.
Any ideas
Are the repeaters drop out delays set to at least 1 second? If not it won't work.
And yes, just check the box.
All I did was check the box, nothing else.
Upgrade firmware to R31.00.01, conventional TPT did not exist in R30.
That would probably help.
Thanks, Been busy on a ton of projects and loaded one FW level below what was needed. The new CPS showed me the TPT checkbox, and it didnt error out. However when testing there was no TPT. With the next FW step I just did it indeed works. Crazy I missed that. Appreciate it
At least it’s actually useful. As opposed to just a feel good tone when you PTT.
Poor man’s coverage test also.

I’m testing this feature on a tester radio on a 5 site public safety system. I keep getting bonked in areas of town where without the feature I would be able to transmit and be heard with no issue. Unless I’m out in the open pretty close to a repeater site it seems to take a few tries to get the TPT and be able to transmit. Do you think there are settings in CPS that would help get more successful access? I’ve tried increasing preamble length thinking that would do it but it did not. For now, the feature is disabled on all frontline radios.
What's the repeater hangtime set to?

Definitely over 1s

In addition to checking repeater hangtime, it's possible that the preamble length of your defined conventional system is a little short
in duration. I want to recall the APX defaults to 80 or (80 x 0.2083) 16.66 ms in length for conventional systems and 120 (120 x 0.2083)
or about 25 ms for trunking systems.
Prior to enabling TPT, you would have simply keyed the radio and began speaking that presumably would have provided a long enough interval for the system to sync up and begin repeating your transmission. With TPT enabled, the transmission is shorter as it's interrupted
while the SU's receiver is looking for the handshake so to speak. It won't hurt to bump it up for a test.
Simulcast?
