• 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 have a question about DMR and it’s function.
If your radio is parked on a repeater, that’s DMR and your radio is DMR when does the radio unlock the speaker to receive the audio?

This is a direct Motorola question because coming from the Hytera dmr, i’ve always had to keep up the repeater for it to wake up and start listening for my understanding. Motorola does it automatically so you don’t have to PTT anything is this correct if this is correct is there a way to change the settings for the radio to listen more often so instead of every 50 ms every 3 ms so I do understand but something like that that would definitely drain the battery

Are you referring to the battery save function?
Sorry, I don’t think my wording was very good.

With all the DMR hytera radios that I have owned, you have to keep the PTT in order for the radio to listen to the repeater. Is this the same thing with Motorola?

No and that doesn't make any sense at all.

You're saying that if you don't hit the PTT every so often on a Hytera radio, you might miss calls??

"Late Entry?" Are you talking about a Hytera radio being first turned on while a repeater talkgroup is already active?

Are you perhaps referring to an amateur on-demand talkgroup, the kind that only passes audio if someone local has keyed up within a certain amount of time?

I only have one Hytera portable, but it doesn't behave that way at all on DMR (on-demand talkgroups notwithstanding). Of all the questions we've asked so far, mind answering them?

Are you high? Your radio will produce sound if the talkgroup, timeslot, colorcode, frequency match the received transmission. And the volume is turned up. Forgot to mention that the radio has to be in the O-N condition, too.

Sigh... it sounds like you are asking about static vs. dynamic talkgroups like many ham repeaters use when operating on DMR.

Are you trying to set this up for an amateur radio repeater using DMR? Being "parked" on the channel does not work like you think it does. You are thinking of either DMR trunking, or just trunking in general. Conventional DMR is very different.
