• 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.

Ever since we narrow banded in July I have members complaining about the Min V's false alerting. Two of them may have been in the chargers, and another instance was on the floor no where near any electronic equipment. I find this troubling as I am running the Two Tone Detect program and it is picking up some stuff too where there is no voice but it must be hearing our tones? Other than the fact that the Two Tone program is on a mobile radio about 50' up my radio tower, that radio is not narrow banded yet. Any ideas?

I have heard stories on some tone sets "going silent" after switching to narrowband paging.These so called "ghost pages" were cleared up by trying different tone sets,mostly QCII tones and Fast Plectron tones.
These were mostly on UHF 450mhz pagers and a few on VHF 155mhz.
Tightening the sensitivity did not really help at all.

Both the transmitter and receivers were reprogrammed to narrowband settings? I could see problems with a mismatch in thw programming.

Well all I did was uncheck the wideband on the switch menu. The two agencies that dispatch fire/ems on the dispatch channel narrow banded their bases same day.

Under the KISS principle: Did you write the new profile into the pager? Verified that the RF freqs are accurate, to the fourth decimal place?
