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.

Regretfully, NO. Digital will just be buzzing or a background hiss to an analog radio. You have to create a trunking system, then create ids, then go to scan. uv-5+ does not gave the radio guts to decode a digital signal.

First no is what has already been said, your Baofeng will not do digital so it won't work on any digital system.
Second no is your PD is on a trunked system and your Baofeng will only do standard analog conventional and won't handle a trunked system, even if it was analog. Now you may be able to program in all of an analog system's frequencies and hear some traffic, but it will mix up all users on that system with no way to isolate (or track) individual talkgroups.
Thanks for the prompt response. I use to use a old radio shack scanner before they went digital. It seems a new digital scanner is pretty high like 300+. Any suggestions on a ditgial scanner for trunked systems and how to set up the talk group like they have it. Sector A.B.C and ems? Thanks everyone.

what town and state are you in. This would help use determine if you can live with a type I scanner or would you have to go whole hog and get a type II scanner. Now there are "exotic" digital systems out there and maybe no scanner will work, other than a sdr doggle, and software from a computer. Not very portable but it works for siting around the house.
Judging by the post, it's not a Type I system since they don't support digital.
Since the talkgroup is divisible by 16, it appears to be a Motorola system.
Any scanner capable of P25 should work.

https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=4416 here is the link to cpd looking at which scanner would work the best. They have moved over to digital.

What Mike posted above.
RS has a scanner sale. The Pro-651 will be a good scanner to listen to Muscogee county.
If you have more questions about the system, come on down to the GA state forum.
