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.

as DMR conventional. It's a utility with 13 sites & 6 TG. A lot of their comms are done by cell phones. During weather events there is a moderate amount of traffic. This is my first foray into DMR with a G2. Right now, I'm using a Diamond X-30 2M / 70cm vertical antenna that is sitting next to a window in the shack. Outdoor antennas will have to wait till spring. I can see 2 sites with this set up, probably 2 or 3 more once a Diamond F23H is up on the roof. I did read on RR that you only have to put in the voice channels (unlike P25 that can use alt CC's as voice channels) and that each voice channel has to be input twice, one tagged with Slot 1, the other tagged with slot 2. Is this info correct?

Anything else I need to know about getting this system up & running on a G2? Any help greatly appreciated!
