I tried the same thing you did and got the same results. Clearly it’s some bug that needs fixing and it’s not just what I’m (or you are) doing.

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.
New Radio Reference Import Feature For Beta users of 1.40 firmware

Working fine for me, 0 issues but I'm on windows 7. I will add for sake of troubleshooting that my pager is still in Beta 1 or whatever, I've yet to upgrade to Beta II.
This update was much needed and huge IMO for folks that need to program systems with a lot of sites and/or TGs

nick have you imported any tg using new importer?
did they import with default tone alert for each tg?
did they import with default tone alert for each tg?
Yes I have. I actually imported a very large system STARCOM21, every site with primary and alternate controls and EVERY TG listed under RR to the max it allows on import. No issues with the import side which is impressive, it only maxed out enough to not import all of the alternate controls I think but all the Primaries made it I believe. If not it was only like the last 5 sites or so.
Yes it imports TGs just fine BUT defaults everything to TONE ALERT which is stupid IMO. The PPS should allow you to select the Alert column and mass change that parameter, then you can go back and turn back on individually as needed. Shouldn't be hard for them to make that happen in future.
I will say to others waiting to do this, set aside some time. The importing takes a bit and putting all of that data into the pager, the programming into pager takes a long time so make sure you just leave it and let it do its thing. It also takes a while for the scanner to boot and even my old default zones take awhile to lock a control. After a few minutes everything works fine.
Let me add that I would not save this new configuration and overwrite your old codeplug for various reasons. Keep at least 2 versions that way you can go back. If you are testing out the import and do the full system import twice it will add TGs and everything again so you will have several duplicates that you then have to go in and delete. Wouldn't take long on a large system to hit the pagers max TGs, I'm already close to the 8000 max or whatever because of that.

Programming failure is happening when importing from radioreference (with popup message box) and manually typing in talkgroups (crash report send box). Restarting PPS allows programming with the manually entered talkgroups but not the imported from radioference.
More troubleshooting...
Tried 3 different computers, fails on all 3. If I create a new profile it will program from an import. So it appears something in my profile doesn't mesh with the import feature.

Beta testing beta 10 as soon as I get some one that I PM it to confirm it works I post link for all.
I like this version TO work before I post.
Thanks

Are you programming G4 or G5? If G5 VHF or UHF?
G5, VHF/7-800.
Try this new beta 10.
Please note it will import TG with tone alert ON.I told them we need default to NONE.

At your suggestion I uninstalled beta 9 and 10 then reinstalled 10. I didn't import any profiles but instead just read my G5 and was able to successfully use the RR import feature to program my G5.
I don't know if the uinstall or not importing any profile fixed it (or maybe a combination of both), but it seems to work now.
Whew!
It seems to be something with the G5 VHF model. Glad that it is now working for you.
Well crap, that didn't last long. I did a second import and it failed with the earlier error message.
I just got a error also. Was running smooth until I opened the rr import tab.
Why dont we post what model Pager you have that the new beta 10 is NOT running on?
I know 2 of you have G5 both are VHF models.
Is any one that PPS isnt working using a dif model pager?
Mine are g4 no issue
Also G5 UHF no issue

I tried a couple of more times last night with no luck, I just tried this morning and 2 separate imports have worked. Maybe rebooting the computer after the uninstall fixed it.
I'll try several more times later today and then tackle getting it to work on my main programming computer.
