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.

an LTR controller.
The repeater will have to be one that has a low frequency filter bypass, thus allowing the controller to insert the low-frequency data stream into the TX audio. Typically a "PL Bypass", depends on the radio however. What kind of repeater is it?

The icom website shows "Accessory connector (D-sub 25-pin) on the rear panel for trunking controller including LTR, PassPort, SmarTrunkΙΙ and MPT1327 "
So, it should work out, all you need is an LTR controller. Zetron makes some good ones you can find on eBay easily and often cheap. Programming is pretty easy too and can probably even be done via DTMF.

Zetron is the last brand I'd look for. No offense, just my opinion, I've worked with them all for a long time. An el cheapo CSI should work fine for your app, or a Trident Raider.
Again, no offense Josh, but I've installed countless zetron controllers, and...well...they suck.

I agree also regarding Zetron controllers.
A Trident controller or Kenwood controller (Rebadged Trident Controller) followed by a CSI Controller.
I find the CSI controllers a real PITA to program compared to the Trident / Kenwood controllers but it might just be a personal preference.
