• 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.

OK,.. would an patched TG be any different in resemblance than a normal LTR TG???? I know on EDACS, and the older Motorola systems... patches showed up as funny TG's.

Your master site
Standard LTR doesn't support patching unless it's a specially rigged situation and that wouldn't change the TG ID.

Multi-Net is the only LTR format that supports patching and since no scanner currently supports it....

So Multinet and Passport support it...and no scanner does iether yet.... OK thanks for the info.

And yes Passport supports patching. For example check out the Middle TN Public Safety Passport LTR... It is going to be patched to everything around them.

And JPS Communications makes a unit called an ACU-1000 that can patch anything together including Nextel and Cellular into any radio system.

Actually I don't know about the Middle TN Pub Safety system or the ACU-1000, but I think you are throwing the terms around with different meaning.

Milf you asked if LTR supports patching, in the context Wayne (and I) supposed you ment patching TG's together, as in multi-select. That is not the same thing as connecting systems together. Connecting systems together is not a function of the TRS, it is a function of periphial hardware, firmware, or software. Connecting differnet systems together may be called lots of things, including patching, but in the context of your question, I am going go believe Wayne provided the correct answer.

I was trying to find out if regular LTR not only had the internal TG patching.. but also the external patch capability.. and if so would it show a funny TG ID....

Wayne supplied the answer as to internal patched TG's... Thanks again for that.... What I also would like to know is if LTR Standard supports external patching, and if those would show up as a "funny" TG ID?

I know the only way to know on Passport LTR is to run a data slicer and have LTRDump/LTRTrunk eat it up.

As I said, interconnecting systems has nothing to do with the systems themselves. You can connect two ham repeaters together, it has nothing to do with repeaters, it is an added function of a controller or other piece of hardware. You can take two PS radios, one on one system and another on another system, patch them together with a patching cable and the two systems are connected, but it still has nothing to do with the individual systems or if they support patching, and as a result, such external patching is invisable to the systems involved, see? :wink:
