• 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.

Motorola NAS tips?

I have an XTS5000, and I recently set up NAS. It doesn’t affiliate at all. However, I am having trouble hearing transmissions and the radio is missing them. I’m unsure what the issue is but I feel like I may have possibly messed up the band plan. Any tips to stop missing transmission? (Monitoring Starcom21)

ima ask the obvious.... encrypted? or is the channel you are monitoring mainly TDMA but goes to FDMA when theres a phase one radio on it.....
The talkgroup is FDMA, “D mode”, and I can only hear some of the activity on it. I don’t think range is an issue because the repeater is only 2 miles away.

Id check your band plan. That's usually the first thing when people say it doesn't work.

Also check your scan list assignments, those too are easy to mess up.

Unless the system information came from the system admin/owner, you don't really know. Crowd sourced information doesn't have access to the TG/MG profiles on the system side, only the ones who operate it can confirm how a given TG is configured.
Well, I really don’t think this is the issue, as I used to do conventional scanning, where you put all the site frequencies into a scan list, and I was able to hear the talk group every time. I did that until now, I’ve finally got my hands on what I needed to do “real” NAS.
