• 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.

Mods: if this is in the wrong forum please move it

As some of you may have seen, we're beginning to store Mototrbo information in our trunked system articles in the wiki.

As I understand it, Trbo is a 2 slot system. So can one color code (which I assume acts somewhat like a NAC in a P25 system) in slot 1 be different from the color code in slot 2?

If so I need to make space for it in our wiki. A simple edit to take care of, but I'd like to be correct from the start. We don't have too many of these TRBO articles yet, so doing it now would save us headaches later.

Thanks....Mike

No... The color code (0 thru 15) is the same for each slot. On trunked systems with multiple repeaters you may find different color codes on each repeater though.
