• 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 have a mpt 1327 system I'm trying to listen to in the 400.00 mhz band, the control channel I am listening to is 420.175 how do I set up the .ini file to listen to it.

This is what I have started to receive

New network...

SYS 0x50a1 Unknown network - C.C. 460.0000 MHz
SYS 0x50a1 ACKK General Prefix: 0x0 Ident1: 0x1ff9
SYS 0x50a1 GTC Channel 0x26 Freq: 460.4750 Mhz Prefix: 0x0 Ident1: 0x1774 Voice

SYS 0x50a1 GTC Channel 0x26 Freq: 460.4750 Mhz Prefix: 0x0 Ident1: 0x10b Voice

SYS 0x50a1 ALOHA

This is the way the file is set now

Have you been able to figure this one out Steve? From the look of it, the base would be 420.0000, step 125 (12.5kHz). The offset might need to be tweeked; for some reason I found it to be off 1 or 2 channels from expected (built-in compensation?). Watch the channel frequency it reports during a call, and adjust if necessary.

I found one system where the step is actually 6.25kHz even though the channels are on 12.5kHz grid. The S/W truncates the last digit, causing roundoff errors that increase with the channel number (I verified this). This shouldn't be a problem in your case (I hope).

Hi Dave, I really have not had any luck with the program and deleted it, I know that other people are working on new programs that will be a lot better, so I think I will just wait till these programs come out, I just wanted to play around with the program to see what it will do. To bad there is not a scanner radio that will trunked this kind of system, anyway thanks for the info Dave.
