I'm using this radio on a linked system and after every transition it has a long squelch tail. I've tried to look in the software KPG-89D ver. 1.61 and cant find where to change or adjust it. can anyone help?

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.

Where are you hearing the long squelch tail? Is it on the TK-8180 receive? Or is it on the other radios?

Can you give us some details about the "other radios"?
Motorola uses a non-standard reverse burst on their CTCSS. It won't cooperate well with some other brands, and will give you the static crash after a transmission. There's a way you can go into the settings on the TK-8180 and change the "QT reverse burst phase" (QT is Kenwood's abbreviation for Quiet Tone, their name for CTCSS). It'll give you the option of +180º which is the Kenwood standard, and -120º or +120º, one of those is what Motorola uses.
It requires running the KPG-89 software in "engineering" mode, and that requires activation with a specific key.
I'm not going to provide the info on how to put KPG software into Engineering mode, but if you were to search on that, chances are you'd find some useful info.
Just be aware, the Engineering functions on the software can allow you to mess some things up, so as always, save your radio configuration before changing anything.
