• 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.

I have a LTR system in my hometown, the FCC website list about 15 freq for this system and states centralized trunking system! I would like to know if I am setting the system up correct in my pro-2067, I went in the 1,5,9,13,17,and so one sequence and don't think it is working correctly, any suggestions??

The PRO-2067 does not require the channels to be entered in a particular sequence. It isn't the best LTR tracker - the Uniden models work considerably better.

I thought that in ANY trunker that does LTR, in order to properly track an LTR system you HAD to enter LCN in proper order?

Not with the PRO-2067. It scans the sub audible of the channels, and if it matches what you are scanning for then it stops on that channel. So if the TG you are listening you gets shunted off the home channel then you may miss a bit as the PRO-2067 scans the channels to find it. I suppose if you have them in the logical order it may do it a bit better because of the scanning order.

The Uniden method is to actually monitor the home LCN of what TG you are locked onto. If the TG comes active but is on another channel it will act on the GOTO message on the home LCN and jump directly to the LCN that the TG was shunted to. This is why they need to be in the correct spots so when the jump is done you end up on the right channel. Following on from this you can actually, at least with the 780, have an LCN in the wrong spot and sit on it with the TRUNK button on and see the any TGs as will always decode TGs when in LTR trunk mode. So on an unknown system this is quite an easy way to have an educated guess at what the real LCN is.

All of Radio Shack's GRE manufactured scanners including the Pro-92, 93, 95, 96, 2067, and others work the same way. There is no need to enter freqs in any order for LTR. As has already been said, this is only necessary on Uniden made scanners.

While the PRO-93-95-2053-96 will all hear LTR systems in Conventional mode, only the PRO-92-2067 will TRACK LTR and allow you to enter TG ID's and lockout talkgroups and whatever.

The others won't track the LTR talkgroups...

The PRO-2052 is not able to trunk track any LTR system. You can monitor in conventional mode .
