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.

Set the repeat function in the channel information. There is a squelch selection in optional features, maybe it will get rid of the constant green led. Receive speaker audio needs a jumper plug in the white connector on the back.
I tried what you suggested with no luck. i finally put it on the bench the transmitter is a mess 3.2 khz off freq pl dev1.2 transmitter is not spurious at full power. I guess someone was playing with this repeater before I got it . time to go check voltages see where that leads me.

Is there something set for the DB25 on the back that has COR/PTT set to low? If nothing is connected, no voltage, PTT becomes constant.
I'd give it a good once over on the bench with the service manual.

Hooboy, sounds like you're going to be really into this. Sure sounds like someone was diddling where they weren't supposed to.
Not sure what you're going to find with a volt meter. I would do a full alignment with the proper test equipment. Do you have a service manual?
