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 believe it may have. But again im not monitoring very busy systems or ones that use patches. Good to know R11P is working well for that user who reported issues and now isnt having them.
We don't have a Michigan separate release anymore. Disable Voice Buffering on the Knob position this should resolve your issue.

Thanks For the response..I have flashed the newest firmware once again and loaded the codeplug that goes with that firmware, so far no dropouts. I will report back as more hours pass.

I am back to report that it started dropping out once again. I disabled voice buffering on every single knob position and in every zone, as instructed.
Going back to R11P.
Hopeful for a fix.

That's not an acceptable solution for use as a public safety pager.

It wasn’t near any electronics. I had it sitting on an end table across the room from the TV. All other WiFi devices etc are in my office. Thanks for the suggestion though. I have no issues on this firmware and it works fine for my use.

Do u have any patched TGs programmed? Just reading the other thread here the op seems to have his signal drop zeroed in on when he receives a patched TG.

I've disabled voice buffering on all of the knob positions in my G5 with the option available. I still get the dropouts. After a few days of trying other things to minimize this I finally decided to setup unitrunker and turn on my 436 and my G5 and try to observe what the trunk system I'm monitoring is doing when the G5 drop signal. After about 2 hours of monitoring trying to pinpoint I finally figured out what is likely causing this to happen. The G5 loses signal every time two or more talk groups in my non-prority scanlist get channel grants simultaneously. Which tends to occur more frequently when a system is busy

Even if more than one talk group is active as long as none of them get channel grants simultaneously the G5 will never lose signal and will scan between the talk groups without any issue. I think what often happens, when the signal drops after a transmission, is the radio resumes scanning immediately, often before a reply, and when the radio detects the channel grant for the reply, another talk group becomes active at that exact moment leading to the radio losing signal for 5 seconds. I'm not sure if anyone observes this behavior when scanning in priority talk group scan mode. I only have non-priority talk group scan lists programed.
