• 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.

Is there a such thing as a encripted LTR system?

Hay, I was wondering if any one has any info on weather or not there is as such thing as a LTR ENC System.

And if there is, is that what Dahlgren has?
INFO on Dahlgren Data bursts are regular(10 Sec.) But the voice sounds like, I gues Aleans could describe it.

There is an LTR system around here that uses voice inversion on one or two talkgroups. That sounds sort of "alien-like" and could be what you are hearing. Funny thing is, you can still tell they are speaking Farsi. Taxi company of course.

Encryption generally sounds like a bunch of crap that I have heard referred to as a "drowning fish". It bears absolutely no resemblance to a voice, just a bunch of beeping, buzzing etc...

One taxi company on a local LTR system uses rolling code inversion on the base only; mobiles are in the clear. I've never heard any digital voice transmissions on the LTR systems here.

Funny, there are a bunch of LTR systems around where I am,
and I've only heard it on a couple of groups, on the mobiles only,
which is the opposite of what you mention.

I wouldn't call it encryption though. It is analog scrambling,
which is different from real encryption applied to a digital
voice (or data) signal.
