• 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.

Auto Slot select in Simplex?

I'm mainly interested in Kenwood radios and wondering if any do Auto Slot Select on a simplex channel? My NX5300 does NOT support this except in repeater mode (TX & RX freqs must be different). Anytone allows split TS and Dual TS (presumably including simplex?) and Hytera pre lawsuit seemed to. Side note- DSCM and Non DSCM not compatible in either direction; you would think a non DSCM receiver would lock onto a DSDM signal because it's the only signal there and actual TS would be irrelevant to non DSDM receiver. It would make sense that the non DSDM could not talk back to the DSDM receiver since it is looking for a timing signal and specific TS.

I don't have any DMR Kenwoods but I looked in KPG-D6 (NX1000 series) and it only allows Auto in duplex mode so I assume the NX3000 is the same way as well, no idea about some of the EU-only DMR radios

Why doesn’t NX5300 do it? Not looking forward to buying radios and especially cps just to test..
