• 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.

I am trying to trunk, but i can't make heads or tails out of the programming instructions that came with my 780xlt uniden scanner. It seems to me they assume you already know how, and what youre doing.
I have the frequencies, I know the control channels, I know the system type. My scanner gets stuck on channels that makes weird noises and stays there. No information comes up when I do hear someone talking. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you, tamrhein

which system are you trying to monitor, is it a digital system or anolog. If it is digital you wont be able to monitor it with the type of scanner that you have. You might have to ask someone in here that knows more about Uniden scanners. Since i only have a R.S pro 96.

I'm here a lot
It sounds as if you have not entered all your freq.'s in Trunk
programming mode.

Find the pages in the manual that describe how to enter trunked freq's
and give it a shot.

Hit the search button, and you should be on your way !
