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.

On D2, add to the conventional frequency list.
On D3, create an item with Protocol Type "P25 Conventional".
On D4, create talkgroups of interest (populating the P25C TGID column). If you don't know, of don't care about, the TGIDs, create a wildcard item with P25C TGID of 65535 (decimal).
On D5, create a knob position with Receiving Mode of "Monitor Mode", select the conventional frequency and protocol type you created above. Enter the NAC if you know it, or 7FE if you don't. Select your talkgroups at the bottom.
I think that should be it....

So programming all of these new CHP frequencies in would work same way? Can I set them to scan on one knob position? I'm confused, do I just ignore TX? (Some of these NACs I just made up for examples)
| Channel Name | TX Freq | RX Freq | NAC | |||
| 1 | VRS1 | 769.16875 | 799.16875 | DAD | ||
| 2 | VRS2 | 769.18125 | 799.18125 | DAO | ||
| 3 | VRS3 | 769.19375 | 799.19375 | DBC | ||
| 4 | VRS4 | 769.21875 | 799.21875 | DB0 |

Go back to D3 and edit the Protocol type - click on "No Setting", and it'll change to a drop-down menu, where you can select "P25 Conventional". Change the Protocol Alias to something like "P25C".
did it ship?

Hi N6ML-
New user here and I could not figure out how to program a P25 conventional system into my G5. I followed your directions and they worked perfectly. I am now able to monitor the Cranston PD on my G5. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I am learning more and more every day about the G5. Thanks again!
