• 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.

Ok here it is, this was driving me nuts. The scan list settings are broken. So if you want to scan from a scan list do the following:
1. Make a scan list in the typical fashion in CPS
2. Program your channels/zones, but DO NOT assign a scan list to a channel. The channel's scan list MUST be "none", that is the word none in CPS.
3. Now put your radio on the channel you want to add a scan list to and go into the menu->scan->scanlist-> [select desired scan list]

Now activate scan either from the menu or the button you assigned.

Happy scanning.

One final step. Now you can read the code plug, & save the scan settings you put in from the keypad.

Apologies for jumping in late on this - after trolling RR for many years, just now getting around to registering. Anyway...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this only allow you to put each channel in ONE scan list? What if you want the same channel in multiple scan lists?

Currently struggling with the (bleep bleep) Scan list set up in CPS, so just thought I'd ask.

In the process outlined earlier, you're not adding your selected channel to a scan list; you're adding a scan list (already programmed) to your selected channel. Adding channels to a scan list is a different process, which works fine in the CPS (and you CAN add any channel to multiple scan lists).
