• 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.

Has anyone used MOCAD to remotely monitor the health of Motorola Quantar VHF/UHF repeaters?

I need to remotely monitor a large network of repeaters (without using phone lines) and VoIP their audio to a NOC. Experience anyone?

Thanks,

One of the capabilities of MOSCAD is site monitoring, and it has become a part of the infrastructure installed in Mother Moto's systems. Since in a site monitoring capacity it's an Exception Reporting system, there's not much traffic, so in many systems, MOSCAD site monitoring is asigned its own TG. That would satisfy a wireless requirement for you.

My experience with MOSCAD is in analog and digital control and data systems such as used in water and sewer system controls and instrumentation and usually utilizes more than one TG or to a microwave link system, depending on how complex the need is and consequently how much traffic is passed. Comparatively speaking, site monitoring is a cakewalk compared to what MOSCAD is usually used for.

Some of the gurus here can perhaps steer you toward a person here as stated or someone near you who could probably answer the questions. Hope someone has at least PMd ya by now. If not, PM me and I'll hook you up with our system site gurus on the MOSCAD side.

Check out www.moscad.com. They might help you with your questions. I attended a school there, they are quite knowlegeable.

We use MOSCAD with our system, a 7 site, 15 channel, simulcast trunking. We have 94 alarms, more or less, per site. For our pipeline we use microwave .
