Hello, Do the frequencies on a LTR system display PL or DPL codes when they are in use?

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.

No, they should display LTR Group IDs if your scanner can decode them.
LTR systems sometimes mix LTR and conventional (PL/DPL) users on the
same channel, so you could see this.
Also, I've heard that some DPL codes can confuse the low-speed LTR
signalling (and visa versa?) , possibly giving false decodes.

I did a fcc search and programed all the trunked system freqs as conventional to see if any are active. Most are not and can't see any signs of it being a trunked system. Occasionally when activity does occur it displays a dpl code. So I assume there are no LTR systems currently setup in my area.

Not necessarily. As Dave said, quite often, a system of repeaters will have 1-2 out of 6-10 total repeaters on conventional mode, usually with PL/DPL and the others LTR. However, you have you examined all the systems in your area, and you did not hear the "spitting" sound every 5-10sec...right? This sound is not guaranteed to be present on an LTR freq, but it is fairly common. I find that systems with this sound can remain inactive for quite a while before they go active LTR.
