• 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.

Okay. Here goes.

We have the XTL version of the Futurecom DVRs wired through a remote mount XTL2500. We have had these for some time now but we have purchased new fire apparatus and are transferring Futurecom DVR equipment into the new apparatus.
The problem I am running into is this: With the new setup we are trying to use a mic extension cable ran to the main transceiver of the XTL2500 for a sleeker install (instead of plugged into the remote head). When the mic extension cable is plugged into the main transceiver brain it stops receiving the Futurecom DVR status information on the XTL display and ceases to control the Futurecom DVR via XTL VIP cable. When you unplug the mic extension cable the DVR status on the XTL display and VIP cable DVR control capability return.
Is there any specific way to program around this issue or am I going to have to do away with the mic extension cable??

I do know the mic extension cables do not have all the same wires as the mic. You can not program thru a mic extension cable because of this.
My thought is the repeater is looking for something from the mic and when you use that cable it does not see it
