• 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.

Just got the PRO 95 and I'm trying to lock out a channel but it won't allow me. It has an L but it still keeps BUZZING every 2 seconds on the ID.

Pro-95, as well as the 93, 92, & 2067 only effectively lock out channels when operated in Closed mode for that bank. Locking out a channel has no effect in Open mode when scanning. :wink:

What bothers me more is that you describe it as a buzzing. If it is a frequency that has nothing but buzzing, why did you program it? If it is a control channel (which of course sounds like buzzing) then that would explain why you programmed it, but you shouldn't hear it if you have programmed the radio correctly. :?

Now this can have a couple of causes... it could be a control chan on that freq which is not the CC for the system your attempting to monitor.... It could also be a EDACS CC on another system with the same freq as the one you have plugged in... Or you might have two different CC's for for the same system (say a multisite smartzone.... and you put CC's for more than one of the sites in one bank)....

Firstly check and verify that you have only one cell/site in each bank, and that you have the proper freqs for that cell/site. Secondly be sure that you have the delay off for each of the freqs on that cell/site. Thirdly make sure that there are no other systems using those freqs in your area.

It's not constantly. Let me close them. What's the difference between open and closed? I'm new.

It's a certain ID that is making the noise.

That fixed it. I closed them and locked the ID. Thanks.

BTW, where can I get a case for the 95?

As in a leather case..... try a local radio shack. As for open vs closed... open mode means it will pick up ANY transmission on that freq that is programmed. Closed means that it is now set to recieve only the modes/TG's etc that you programmed for the freq in that chan/bank

On the Pro-95 the following are the rules:

Conventional:
Open = Hear everything on every frequency you programed in the bank.
Closed = Hear only what you have programed taking into account PL or DCS programmed and lock-out is effective. (While scanning, in manual mode none of that works.)

Trunked:
Open = Hear all talkgroups, whether programmed or not, programmed ones will display the alpha tags associated with the ID (assuming you entered one.)
Closed = Hear all programmed talkgroups in active ID banks which are not marked as locked out.
You should never hear any control channel noise when scanning in a trunked bank if the radio was programmed correctly as a Pro-95 is a control channel only radio which means if finds the appropriate CC and sits there until it goes to a voice channel to let you hear audio.

:lol: While typing this answer, I see that you solved the problem. Well not to let the explanation go to waste, there it is. :lol:
