• 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.

Pretty much any repeater that supports external control. The ones I dealt with were all interfaced to MTR2000 repeaters but I dont know of any still in use that I installed or maintained. TI is kind of a thing of the past with cell phone use. I'm sure there are some use cases in rural america but it would be limited

An MRTI2000 can talk with pretty much any MOTOTRBO repeater through the rear connector. One Call per Repeater over a four wire ----

Here is a drawing for the MTR3000.

I just checked a repeater in my garage and it has a MRTI 2000 on it. Someone gave it to me and it already had plugs for a Quanter, I just plugged it in and it worked. Someday I'll read the manual and reprogram it.

I've been looking for one if its possible to use on my RICK repeater build.
I remember in the 80s we linked two repeaters when needed on the awestruck Maui mountains. I believe we were using GR repeaters. I don't remember how we connected the MRTI.
Anyone have one for sale?
