• 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.

NAC means Network Access Code which is used on conventional P25 Astro Digital channels like PL/DPL is used for analog channels. The CPS default NAC is 293. For my Astro Digital channels, I just stay with default 293 for both transmit and receive settings.

That is not what the OP asked

I know that so, what's your point?
Lmao. You didn't actually answer the OP question, you wrote a word salad that wasn't even on topic. Nobody cares how you program your radios.

BTW, only lazy people use defaults like $293, TG 1, RID 1, CKR 1 or KID 1.

Do you use 67.0Hz for all your analogue channels?

If the repeater channel requires 67.0, then yes and one does. And there are some simplex channels that I have to use, not of my own, uses 67.0. As for my Repeater channel, I use a DPL. Also, what difference does it make to you or anyone else what PL or DPL is used. You can either program it accordingly or not use it at all.

It was a rhetorical question.

It doesn't. It's about your word salad of words, that didn't even address the OP's ACTUAL question. It should have been a single sentence like:

The NAC equivalent to ASTRO carrier squelch is $F7E.

Simple, to the point.
You can either program it accordingly or not use it at all.
