• 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'm here a lot
I snipped this from a Motorola press release, it partially answers your question.

Also on display at APCO will be advanced digital recording solutions from NICE Systems that integrate with Motorola’s Smartzone™ and Smartzone Omnilink™ trunked radio systems version 4.1. This integration represents trunked radio recording without the need for de-trunking cards, which are expensive and take up valuable space in the dispatch console. With this digital recording functionality customers will have the ability to reconstruct incidents — using recordings of both radio transmissions and telephone calls — accurately and chronologically for both training purposes and legal purposes.

Please i need to know the features of Smartzone 4.1

Is it APCO25?

Thanks

I think 4.1 supports Analog, p25, and maybe old Astro voice channels using a 3600 BPS Smartnet type control channel.

It allows for mixed mode simulcast, single site, or IR sites. It uses 3600 baud control channel.

If you want to do mixed mode simulcast you have to go SmartZone.

Or not use consoles. That's the way I understand it. Either one but not both.
