• 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.

Morning all,

Trying to wire up an external device (Telephone interconnect) to my standalone quantar. Having trouble getting RX audio out of the unit (Pin 30 with all the wildcard options prorammed). It seems that pin 30, where the audio should be coming out, has a constant 5v on it, and no audio when connected to the external device. Is this normal? or am I missing a setting in RSS? The 5v is present even if i turn off the wildcard options, and when the wireline board is removed, wondering if anyone else has seen this before? cheers

I have the same problem of wanting the wide band audio from pin 30 of J-17. For my needs, I want something better than 300-2500 Hz audio bandwidth that comes off the orange connector. I get the same results on J-17, pin-30 as frothy88 has; no audio but +5 VDC. I'm aware of the picture you show (above) but apparently I need someone more experienced with this radio than I to take me by the hand and show me step by step.

Thanks,

Burt, K6OQK

The +5VDC is present because this is a direct connection from an op amp output. As shown here, the audio is filtered from 0 to 6000Hx and down 3 dB at 5275 Hz.

Do you have the wildcard option enabled in the system configuration screen. It defaults to disabled.
