• 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.

EX-600XLS on an LTR System

Hi All,

I am a Paramedic working at a small company and we
are using a small 3 channel LTR system. I have an EX-600 xls and have been advised by my Operations Director that I can use my own radio on their system.

I currently program our analog radios using my licensed MOL account Professional Series CPS and also am the administrator for our P-25 County Astro System which is 100% digital and is an LMS simulcasted system. We also use a Type II Smartnet older system, but this is my FIRST time attempting to use the Professional Series software to program a radio for LTR.

When I open the software it does give me several tabs for the LTR system inputs. However; I am
confused as to where to enter the LCN numbers for the input frequencies which is very important , especially having the order correct. Any help you folks can provide would be appreciated.

So this is what I have for my data. It is a 3 frequency system.

1) 478.1125 LCN 2
2) 472.2375 LCN 19
3) 472.2125 LCN 20

The TG that I need to program in is 1-20-015. There are several other agencies on the system, but they are taxi's and towing companies.
The interesting thing I noticed was when I listen to those 3 frequencies on an analog radio the only frequency I hear for our company is on Channel 3 being 472.2125. That is what is confusing to me since an LTR doesn't have a dedicated HOME channel.

If anyone is willing to take a look at my code plug or help me with the LTR tabs and the various inputted fields it would be appreciated. Work hard saving lives daily and I could use someones help now. Thanks and waiting anxiously for your replies. 30 years Public Safety and Radio Communications and the oldest possible system we are operating on is making me feel like a virgin!!! LOL

LTR does indeed have a home channel. In your case it's ch20. The only time you will trunk to another channel is if another user is talking on 20.

The group code tells you the following:
Area: 1
Home CH: 20
Group:15

And don't forget to let the system owner/operator know you are adding a radio since they probably charge per radio.
