• 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.

Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the term Intellirepeater?

I keep seeing this in reference to some of the newer Motorola systems.

What are they?
How do they operate?
How should one program these sites in regards to trunking scanners?

Thanks in advance!!!

Intellipeaters or intellirepeaters are the Motorola "smart" repeaters in use in most trunking systems,.. you program them into a scanner just as you would any repeater system.... They do not effect scanner usage,.. the functions are more important to an actual Motorola Radio. For a more indepth description keep watching the thread... N-Jay or nmfire, or Voyager will pull out the full page tech sheet for ya soon.. :)

Also you might hear the term digipeater,.. which is the digital version of the intellipeater and is used on digital capable systems.

Taken from Motorola literature:
An IntelliRepeater is a trunked repeater with built-in capabilities to perform the trunking functions without the need for a site controller. Any IntelliRepeater at a site can provide this capability if a station was to fail. This eliminates the need for central controllers at every site, while still providing full system capabilities.

Your master site
Please do a search. It's been discussed many times as I've gone over it.

Also you might hear the term digipeater,.. which is the digital version of the intellipeater and is used on digital capable systems.
"Digipeater" isn't a common term in the LMR industry [See below]. APCO-25 digital is an orderable option for the Quantar just as IntelliRepeater operation is.

Whereas this is true when talking about commercial and Pub Safety level systems, the term is a recognized one in the ham community in a very narrow sense. In the ham community it is a record and retransmit station set up for the expressed purpose to pass on AX.25 packets for both APRS and PacketRadio. It may also be interconnected to an ISP to post that information to other "digipeaters" for wider dissemination of the information passed locally. It is not correctly used in connection with any mobile relay duplex operation.
