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.

Are you wanting to match somebodys tones or are you just wanting to pick out a sound you like?
Select Menu - Audio/Tones - Call Tone Tag - Selective Call....
When you scroll through the different tones, it should play them for you.
If not, Enable tones by going to: Menu - Audio/Tones - Tone Disable... Make sure tones are enabled.

the only way to hear them is to transmit them. Or you can download a program called comtekk tone generator here ComTekk Tone Generator Software and have it generate it through your computer speakers.

if an ht1250 is able to use that feature, would it work on a GP300? I know this is off topic or just my radio model goes off topic but im trying to figure out myself the frequencies for a certain tone i want my GP300 to go off for

no i know what the tones are and what they sound like, i just need the frequencies to put in so my walkie would go off with the alert for a certain station in my county whenever im on call
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh well the easiest way would be to contact the communicatons director for the county or who ever programs the counties radios. They should be able to get them for you. The other way, which is time consumming and process of elimination, is to download ComTekk 2-Tone Decoder II and have that running on your computer while a scanner or radio is hooked up to it and when a tone goes out it will log it> at the end of the day if your station went on a call the tones will be logged and you can match it to the time of the call. In some areas, such as where i am, that would be hard to do beacuse we always dispatch multiple stations to calls so there is alot more involved in figuring out which one goes to what. But like i said the best way is to contact who ever it is that programs your radios.
