Hello, my talk permit tone is not working on my APX6000, and I could really use some help getting ti to work.

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.

You do realize that your 2nd pic is of the "talk PROHIBIT tone" and not "talk PERMIT" tone correct?
And that the Talk permit tone only works with a digital conventional system (ie: DVRS)?

Any channel like once so over, hell, I cant even get it to program to the county EMS where I work.
In the first screenshot I can't tell if that's from a trunking personality or conventional personality, if it's conventional and you're wanting the talk permit tone it has to be on a P25 repeater with very specific repeater side settings for the radio to give you the grant. I have two ham P25 repeaters near me, both quantars, one will give the grant while the other won't
If it's trunking and you're not getting the tone the only thing I can think of is the mute setting you have for tones, but it looks like in the second screenshot you just have it set to keypad tones so you should still hear the talk permit tone
If you can provide us more details on the system you're trying to program, preferably a link to it in the database we may be able to provide more insight

Trunking. The TPT in the Features section is a dead giveaway (among other things).
I gotcha, I just know you can do TPT on conventional too now on newer CPS versions and it's also under "Radio Ergo", I haven't dabbled in CPS in a bit so I forgot what the differences in options are
thank you sir o7
Only on p25 digital only. Not analog and you have to be running some latest firmware for that to work.
Correct, like I mentioned earlier P25 only - Although do you happen to know what firmware? I have a 7000 on.....27 I think? Below 30 I know that much.. And it works, but I had to use newer CPS to program it. I was under the impression it had to be firmware 30+ in addition to the newer CPS

I was trying to program it to EMS for Charleston County Palmetto 800 Trunking System, Various, South Carolina for CCEMS Ops and CCEMS Dispatch because I am an intern, however, I keep getting the out of range error even though it is not encrypted.

Well, all i want to do is scan it, which is fine according to my supervisor + DCA (deputy county administrator) because there is apps for it but I HATE the ads and I'm not paying for an app lol
Here's a crazy idea.... buy a SCANNER, which sole purpose is to SCAN a trunking system
Also if you are trying to scan, why are you asking about a talk permit tone???
You know, just in case, for emergencies.
