Yep and it may do it at a whim too, even moving across a room, I've had mine switch sites when in spectrum scan. I think perhaps he doesn't fully understand how the Unications work or how to actually program one for a FD or other public service situation where getting the call reliably is needed.

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.

Well, considering I have it programmed exactly the same way as the 4 radio shops covering 5 counties, I'd say I'll be ok. Worked all this time so far. If you'll remember I said it locks on to a site and stays there until I leave the area. Some tea that's 3 counties away from my home area. But thanks for the advice

So your saying this is the only place in the country with multisite coverage using these pagers? What does everyone else use?
I cannot comment what everyone else uses, only my experience in my area. "Normally" yes once it locks on to a site it will stay there however the only way to insure that is what I mentioned. I wasn't being rude nor condescending, simply what my experience here in my area with FF has been. You mentioned an issue, in post #16, and I offered a solution to the issue with it locking onto one site and not the other. If it's working for you, then it's not a problem and no solution would be needed.
If you have yours programmed the way the others are, and no one else is having issues, then I have no answer unless it's possibly a location thing where you're actually turning your pager on at. I mentioned above I can go to a different room in my house and if I have it on anything but the one site, it may or may not come onto that site in any other mode.
