No, mine doesn't record analog ID's, only the voice and timestamp. My VP8000 DOES record MDC1200 ID's.

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.

Just to confirm, yours does record this information for digital?
Does it get the digital caller ID + channel name, or all three of digital caller ID, talkgroup ID/name, and channel name? And it shows this in the recording playback menu?
Mine doesn't show any of that with the very basic 4 recordings to built-in memory feature. Definitely another reason for me to upgrade if so
Assuming you are referring to the NX5300 rather than VP8000:
ID and voice record appear to be separate systems. The SD card can store voice messages with timestamp as well GPS data. It does not store ID and channel data as far as I can tell. The radio itself stores digital ID's and channel information on incoming transmissions. I suppose one could match up the timestamps of the two systems and connect ID to voice recording.

Ah, yes this matches how mine works. Basically the stack function records IDs (but only the user ID and channel name, not talkgroup) with timestamps (though there is some weird de-duplication logic in the timestamps if the same user calls more than once in a short period of time). Recording function gives just the timestamp (the second blank field I see must be the GPS data, I am curious how that displays).
I think technically the stack may record analog IDs too, but it only records selcalls, so if it's someone just sending MDC ID without directing a call to a MDC user or group, it won't log anything. I need to get a second MDC-capable radio to test this though.
Yeah, stack will save analog select calls (assuming it's set up right) on all my NX radios. I use fleetsync instead of MDC but iirc it records the same way.
