• 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.

good morning guys
Ok lets look at this from a few points,
if we are talking area, it would not be Alaska, it has alot of dead spots, mswin and lwin also Michigan has a vast coverage, but if your talking talk group (aka subscribers) then lwin is a good winner on that, mswin is picking up steam, but michigan is in my mind tops.

now the Phoenix and yuma systems and mesa are coming together, and with pima county building in the future, thats can be a force to be contend with.

i am open to who has more systems or future systems that will be huge!

It was a great network, I used to listen in Sasebo and than Seal Beach. Interesting how you can hear a lot of the same stuff thanks to the interlinking.

I do wonder what the largest single site is. I was hoping to see something crazy like a big mountain top with 50 channel pairs when I was googling around but only found this thread. Good thread though, anyone else stumbling here know which is the largest single site and how many repeaters it has trunked?

I am not sure what the max channel count for a P25 single trunk site, but I believe a Motorola Type 2 site would support up to 28 frequencies. I imagine P25 is similar.

Depends on the setup. With integral data, 36 talk paths is the most that can be done with Astro 25 IIRC. I believe circuit based Astro 25 (which is being phased out for IP) is 28 channels and IP base is 28 talk paths (but I'm a little rusty on that spec).

That being said, City of Austin found an interesting way around that. The co-located sub-sites, Simulcast 1 and Simulcast 2 in the database but the (prime) sites are actually County Wide and E620. Some of those sub-sites are physically co-located on the same towers so they break the traditional channel limitations (talk group affiliation has to be controlled at the system level for this to work).
