• 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 few suggestions:
1. Install Unication PPS on your windows pc;
2. Get a premium Radio Reference subscription so you can use the import feature in PPS;
3. Watch YouTube videos on programming a Unication pager.
4. Read every post in the Unication forum here on RR.
I agree with all of these. Honestly, with a premium account on RR, some basic programming knowledge from watching youtube videos, you can download systems to the PPS and start loading the info onto knobs. It seems daunting at first, but radioreference and the tutorial videos help, as does the knowledge from the forums here.

I was able to get a copy of the PPS file that one of my friends in the area had created. That was a good way to see exactly how it all went together. I then modified what he had done did to suit my purposes. Eventually I developed my own PPS from scratch using Excel to make the CSV files. I uploaded the talk groups, the UID alpha tags and the sites.

Another option: Unication has a code plug file sharing site. I used it initially and downloaded a few (in and out of my area) to learn programming techniques.

With ICORRS- there are many counties covering a wide area. Narrow things down to which county you want to monitor - aka near u and start there with programming data

Absolutely agree. Just the closest tower to you. Once you get that worked out, you might find it's enough.

Be sure to pay attention to the use of wildcards (usually in the similar format e.g., FF, FFFF in hex), they are good shortcuts to get you started quickly. Pay attention to the fields, some want Decimal and other require Hex numbers.
