• 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.

So I programmed my VI and set the tones and all the settings I want but am I missing something, When the tones are alerted, it sounds with no problem, but I get squelch until the broadcast starts. Is there something I'm missing? I'm new to the voice record minitor.

I have the reset on revert N...is this right> Shouldn't it alert without the squelch for 7.5 seconds.

This is normal operation. It's caused by your Dispatch Center not leaving the carrier open between the page(s) and voice portion. The minitor thinks its done receiving a signal.

Thanks,
It's works fine, but the only thing is the squelch between the alert and voice dispatch. After the dispatch, I still have to reset it because of the squelch.

Yes, again, normal operation with Stored Voice configuration.

Does the radio mute properly when the voice message is completed? If so, then the open squelch between the tones and the voice message is normal behavior. Annoying, but normal.

If you'll search minitor revert n here in the Motorola sub-forum, you will find a good number of discussions about this same behavior on the Minitor V. It all applies to the VI as well.
