• 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 recently got a Midland X-Talker ALR2 and I was scanning the different channels and on 467.6875 there is what i assume to be some sort of data packet. I've read that the sound may be caused by a truck engine but I can still hear the noise even when I'm in my house. I've included a spectrogram of the audio clip. Here it is: https://clyp.it/f11jh4l0

Sounds like P25 digital. DMR has a slower pulse rate.

There will come a time when Google will return "You are hearing DMR/P25 radio transmissions" when people ask "what is that machine-gun like sound on xxx.xx mhz?"

. It used to be rare & far-between....now it's like carpet bombing.

That doesn't sound like DMR or P25. It's something else. On a side note I work in a large industrial park and I hear similar sounds on various FRS, GMRS and MURS frequencies quite often. It's some kind of low power data transmissions. I have picked them off with SDR# running DSD plus and I get no decode. Why they are on these frequencies, who knows.
