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 need to know when how cemtracom Stacks pages. We are using two tone decoders on Smartnet radios to control doors and lights. Pages are stacked and sent out, then voice msg given. I have a problem with certain portables that do not hear the voice msg if they are not the first talkgroup in the stack, if PD paged then fire then fire, fire does not get voice msg.
Does any one know what the status bit is sent when stacking pages on a trunked system. Ex ID+ 1 =All talk group,ID+4 Emergency Patch etc. Most of the portables will hear all the tones and voice msg reguardless if all the talkgroups are in the radio or scanning. EX if i don't have PD in my radio but PD paged first I stll hear the tones go out for PD which is ok, but several radios only hear the fire tones ( not PD tone) and no voice msg.

Any help appreciated
