• 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.

7 = 1006.9 but you wouldn't have back to back codes the same.

Quick Call II tone timing is standardized. First tone is 1 second, the second tone is 3 seconds. There's no time lag between tones.

Better explained in great detail here: Two-tone Paging

There are also several other sources on the net for detail info on tone paging including QC-II.

There's no guarantee that the code number assigned to the pair will match a Motorola tone plan. Too many other tone schemes have been incorporated into Centracom II and other console systems for that these days. One of the agencies here uses tones from a Plectron chart, but they're programmed into a Motorola console system and use standard QC-II timing. The internal code number assigned in the console system really can't be decoded with a Motorola chart unlike the old days. We've also got agencies using tones from an old Motorla QC-I chart, but again, with QC-II timing. Tradition is a wonderful thing.

Better to use something like RadioID on your smart phone to identify the tones. Then you will be certain that you've got the right tones.

CCII pager code 3977 converts to 1006.9 Hz / 2361.0 Hz, standard 1 second / 3 second timing.
