• 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'm trying to determine if you can use bluetooth and wired MIC on the same radio "at the same time". In this case "at the same time" would mean that the radio is in a vehicle. One driver may have a bluetooth headset, and a PAO PTT Ring so he can use the radio with a bluetooth headset. Then the vehicle gets parked, and next day another driver uses it who doesn't have a bluetooth headset, so he wants to use the wired Speaker/MIC.

So if there is no paired bluetooth device in the radio's vicinity, it should default to the wired speaker. But when a driver with a bluetooth headset gets close, the headset may pair, and the radio would default to BT. Is this automatic, or do you control it through the screen and buttons, or set something up in CPS?

I'm just trying to get a feel how would it work in real life when you have multiple drivers assigned to a vehicle and some have BT headset, and some don't.

I got my answer so I port it here in case anyone else needs to know it in the future:

You can enable bluetooth on the radio. You can pair a bluetooth PTT button with the radio which shold always stay near that radio. Then, if you have a user with any random bluetooth headset, they can pair their headset with the radio too. So now if both the PTT and the headset are paired with the radio, the radio will direct the audio to/from the bluetooth headset.
If the headset gets disconnected, the radio reverts back to the built-in spreaker and the wired microphone.
