• 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.

Here is why you hear TRS and LTR in the same breath: TRS-Trunked Radio System
LTR-Logic Trunking Radio

LTR is a type of trunking system. It comes as does all other trunking systems in all the flavors of 800 MHz, UHF, and VHF Hi. LTR also has three flavors of its own- LTR Regular, LTR Passport, and LTR Multinet.

For all intents and purposes, all trunking systems work basically the same way when it comes to allowing many users to utilize a few freqs.

The main difference with LTR, and say EDACS, and Motorola systems is that LTR uses subaudible data to control its trunking ability, whereas most Motorola and EDACS systems use an actual control chanell.
