• 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.

Any ideas on how this could have happened:

At home with my pager set in an off duty, selective call mode. I see a notification on my phone app that the duty engine had just gotten a medical call. Totally normal. My pager was on my side and did not alert (as usual in off duty). However, shortly after I noticed the red light was on as if it had alerted. I thought it was strange because it didn’t make any noise or vibrate. So I pressed the replay button and it had recorded the medical from before. Here’s the twist - it recorded the WHOLE thing. Including the QCII tones. Not like just a snippet, but the whole thing. How would it have known to record that if my pager wasn’t alerted. How would it have known to start recording if the pager wasn’t tripped. How would it have recorded the tones (all four seconds of the sequence)?

This is the second strange instance of something happening. Earlier last week it recorded a random size up at a fire alarm in a different city and then set to open. It never beeped or vibrated. Middle of the night.

Thoughts?!

Any chance it’s in an amplified charger? Had similar experience with an amp charger. Wasn’t fully seated in the charger so no audio but it did record the call.

You might ask your fellow fire fighters if they are missing calls.
