• 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've programmed multiple Kenwood TK series mobile and portable radios for local FD's. I've got fleetsync working well for all of them, however, I can't get it to work on one specific channel. It works fine on everything else, just this one channel. I do not have "opt signaling" being utilized for any of them and they work fine. Do I need to utilize this for this problem channel, or did I happen to miss some setting on this one and only channel on every radio i've done? Basically what i'm trying to accomplish is unit identifirs as well as the "BOT" sound on transmit to alert everybody of radio traffic. Everybody likes it. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks All!

What model Kenwood are you trying to program? Without this info, verify in "channel edit" that you have PTT ID on, or set to BOT/EOT, etc.

2180s. 7160s. All that is turned on. That's why I'm stumped because It works on every other channel except this one.

The land of broken calculators.
When you say it "doesn't work", what exactly does that mean?
That the ID isn't showing up on another radio? That it's not making a chirp noise? That the MSK isn't decoding or encoding properly?

No "chirp". The decode works on every other channel except this one. All the other repeater channels, all the other tactical channels (which are not repeatered). It will transmit, but not chirp, but it will still use the end of transmit tone.
