• 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.

A zone is a collection of knob positions. Up to 8 knob positions in a zone. I don't know what the the max number of zones is, I have 3.

You really need to launch the software and get started. I think you are suffering from negative learning at this point.
OK I will turn on other computer, bring up the software but still dont know the right model number for the radio I ordered. The create new profile part has 3 fields at top of page: voice pager model: I chose G5 dual band.... the next line is: First Band Type: sx - 700/800 (763-776, 851-870 mhz) the 3rd line is: second band type: I chose UHF-D (450-512 mhz) .....I clicked on all 4 protocols......did a "search by condition" and the results give me 5 different model numbers....I dont know which one to pick. I am going to guess it is model # G5B67BF-SXUDEN1400UNI band is 700/800 + UHF D Protocol is Analog, DMR, P25C, P25T and under software it says Basic Function. OK I did just that and starting to fill out the pop ups forms ......I will see how far I can get before I get stuck. OK stuck already! It wont let me type in the WACN ID....which is "BEE00" the SYSID is 197......the fields are confusing.

Bob, There are 3 sections to the PPS SW. The profile page, the import RR and view/edit existing profile. Did you login to RR. You need RR to select your systems to listen to. Watch more videos

The step in Tab D2 isn't important, that said you enter the WACN and SYSID in the right column as the BEE00 and 197 are HEX. click okay at the bottom and save. Now close the D tab screen.

Now, open E tab and select that Sample profile. Click on edit on the bottom.

Go to tab E2 and here is where you really start. Click Add and import .cvs from RR and add 700/800 system

OK I really messed up my first profile so I deleted it. I signed on RR and downloaded the data for RISCON I cant figure out how or where to put any of the data I downloaded. I do have this...see pic....but not doing things in the right order.

Okay, first, please tell us/show us in SS what tab you are on when you share, so we are one the same page (I saw the C1 afterwards). Secondly, did you load this like I told you to?

Finally, it looks right, but there will be an extra step we will get to later. For now, do the same thing 4 or five times, once for each site selecting one site at a time.

I managed to get this far but looks like a duplicate.....I downloaded the .csv file but there is another .csv file in RR for talk groups but when I try to download it, it says file format bad? the data is not showing all the talk groups or all the frequencies.

The system (sites, freqs, TGs) goes in customer public resource manager, tab c, this is like the third or fourth time I have replied with this. I feel that the using the E tab is not a best practice. It may work, but it will get tedious entering a system over and over again.

And I'll say this again, it's super easy to move data between profiles. Pick one and build, quit worrying about it until you have your pager and know what model you have.

Launch PPS

Tab C1

No that is incorrect, you don't need to download any files, it will import it exactly as needed. That was my mistake. We will delete those in a minute, but first in the top right use this...

If you want to take over I'm more than happy to let you, but it might get confusing if we both are helping at same time.

Okay using the orange import button, do the exact same thing for each site, but select only one site number at a time.
This is where I am totally confused. I am importing the WHOLE RISCON system, not the 5 individual SITES.....so I have to import SEPARATELY the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, METRO and STATEWIDE 700 sites as separate entities?

Yes, you select one at a time from the check boxes on the left, also make sure you select the bottom boxes as shown below. Select all TGs from the selection.
