• 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.

Hytera HP565 private call

Hi all

I have a mixed fleet of the new Hytera HP565’s and the HP505’s.

All are set to digital on channel 1.

If I start a private call between two radios, will this then make the channel busy for the other radios or should they still be able to transmit and receive on channel 1?

Is there any way to have a private/one to one call between two radios, without having to manually change to another channel, whilst still allowing for the others radios to talk to each other?

Hope this is clear, happy to clarify!

Yes, any activity on the channel will make it busy, doesn’t matter if it’s a private, group, or all call.

If you set admit criteria to always rather than channel free, other radios may be able to transmit when the channel is busy, but now you’ll have two transmissions on the same channel interfering with each other, so that isn’t ideal.

Pseudo trunking (aka auto slot select) may achieve what you want. If user A makes a private call on time slot 1 of a given channel, and user B who is not participating in that call keys up, user B will automatically switch to time slot 2 of the same channel.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Do you know if these specific models support pseudo trunking?

I don’t know to be honest! We don’t get the HP5 series in the US (and now it looks like we might not get any Hytera radios 😬)
