• 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.

Good evening,

Have an issue I have been trying to solve with the F60v radios. We are currently using these primarily as alerting devices on our repeater frequency. I have surrounding department frequencies programmed as receive only. I setup the auto scan feature so that when the channel is changed to another frequency, the radio automatically priority scans our frequency, so that nothing is missed on our frequency if listening to someone else.

My problem is that when the channel up/down key is pressed when changing channels, the scan feature is turned off on that channel first, and a second press will then change the channel. For example, if I select the channel for Dept B (which is auto scanning), and I want to turn to Dept C, I hit channel up and the scan on Dept B is turned off. I then hit the channel up again, and now I am on Dept C (auto scanning).

Somehow, the channel up/down keys are disabling auto scan, and I want to avoid that. Everything else is working great with these units, and fixing this issue would set them up perfectly for us. Does anyone have any ideas?
