Does anyone know how to enable a talk permit tone for the HT1250 in the cps? Thanks.

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.

Long or short sidetone should be an option when using MDC1200 signaling.
if its not a trunking radio what purpose does it serve? Sidetone is what you need.

It lets you know you have keyed up which is very important so you don't have an open mic.
thats what sidetone does..

That is if you're using MDC1200 Pre ID only. If you have it set to post, no sidetone.
You could enable a pre DTMF tone if the 1250 has that option. Set the burst speed to the max, set a 3 digit number and it kind of sounds like a trunking radio talk permit tone. Only draw back is this DTMF burst goes out over the air.

For the super squirrels to perform out there !!!!
You might consider setting the time out timer while you're at it. It certainly would help with open mics. Good luck.
If you haven't done so already, you might consider checking/setting the time out timer while you're at it. It certainly would help with open mics. Good luck.

We used a pre-only PTT ID via MDC signaling w/ long sidetone for this. Unfortunately we found it did not work well for radios used with mobile repeaters (especially if the repeaters also had signaling enabled) and so we had to disable it on some radios.

It sounds like my best bet is to probably just enable the TX Timer.
