Hey all!
Does anyone know if this exists? Trying to figure out a solution for this.
Thanks!

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.

Its not official, but i did find if i add in one or two sites with their RFSS/Site details and the control channels, the pager does appear to prefer them when you turn it on.
If you are looking to have control over which site it monitors, you would need to set up a separate system for each site you wish to monitor.
In your situation with only two sites, you could create a system for each site individually. You could then set up a zone for each site, or if you have a small number of TG's that only fill a couple knobs, you could have knobs 1-4 locking onto site A, and knobs 5-8 locking onto site B, and keep everything in a single zone.

I have my Unication set up to scan a wide area TRS with several sites. I devised a site preference system that works well for me.
I have one system programmed normally -- all control channels and sites inputted in their respective lists.
I have several other systems with only the control channels of the site I want to listen to, and only that site in the list of site aliases. This allows me to only listen to one site of the system at a time. The radio will not connect to another site if it goes out of range. It will only listen to that one site.
If I recall correctly, you can also program only the control channels for your "preferred" site in the CC list, but still input all the site HEX/DEC values in the site alias list. This will cause the radio to try to connect to your favorite site first. With full spectrum scan on, if it goes out of range, it will select ANY site in range.
Please note that you must turn full spectrum scan on in order for the radio to reconnect to the system if it goes out of range no matter the configuration. This issue has been discussed previously on this forum, and arose with PPS 4.0. Not sure if it has been fixed.
I will go back to my laptop sometime and look at the PPS to make sure the above is correct - if there are any corrections I will update this post.
