I have no idea what any of this means. Is there away you can call me?

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.

You don't know what Color Code, Group ID, and slot mean? You would pretty much have to know those to have programmed DMR...
I didn’t program it. A company did and they screwed up. And it went back 3 times they can’t figure it out. So I bought the software and figure I’d try and I can’t. I can program Motorola no problem but kenwood no idea. So I’m looking for help
OK, gotcha.
The Color Code is kind of like CTCSS on analog. The timeslot...on DMR there are two timeslots that can be used, 1 or 2. And then of course the talkgroup ID that you want to talk on. So, you have to know the CC, TS, and TG (GID) for a channel. That's what Evans was talking about, making sure they were all correct.
Well it also seems like you know what your talking about. Can I email you the code plug maybe you can figure it out??
Honestly I don't know if I'm that good lol I just know those things have to be right. Maybe post a screenshot of your channel screen in the software and let's crowdsource it here and see if someone notices something that's off.
Hey guys I figured it out and got it to work it was a stupid setting issue. But now I have a different problem. When in priority scan. The analog channel that is a receive channel cut outs out and there’s a knocking noise rather than the transmission but when it’s not in scan mode it works fine. Anybody have any idea?
Could it be because is the site roaming??
Like it's checking the priority channel? If you're in priority scan and it stops on a channel other than the priority channel, it will 'look back' to the priority channel at the regular interval you have set to check for traffic on the priority channel. I don't recall the default off hand but it's like every second or maybe faster. If you don't want it to do this, don't use priority scan but rather just regular scan.
Ok I tried setting up the regular scan but if someone transmits on the selected channel it doesn’t revert back. Any idea how to make this happen? And also do I need to take priority scan off?
Did you build the scan list?
My NX-5200 and NX-5300 Scan NXDN DMR and CONVENTIONAL all in the same scan list.
My NX-5200 and NX-5300 Scan NXDN DMR and CONVENTIONAL all in the same scan list.
I did. When I put it on list I can’t even turn on the scan. And when I go single it will not revert back to the selected channel can I email you my code plug??
Or can you email me at Elsmaily.insurance@gmail.com
Sorry I do not fix capcodes the Radio Shop I work at REQUIRES a signed letter on a DEPARTMENT LETTER HEAD for each frequency in a radio.
If you want priority scan then enable it. Adjust the Lookback Time A to something that pleases you between rapid audio holes and missing the first word on the priority channel. I like about 1 sec. No way to completely eliminate the drop outs.
The problem isn’t losing a word or whatever. I have A set to 0.50 and B is set 2.00
The problem I’m having is when priority scan is on the transmission of the analog channels gets cut out and there’s a knocking noise or a ping. And when those analog channels are on normal scan they come in fine but the radio doesn’t revert when the channel I’m on starts to transmit.
The analog channels are a local PD and FD and there only receive channels

Completely normal. That is how priority scan works on ANY analog radio. Timer A is your only adjustment.
Ok so what should I adjust timer A to??
Also how do I get normal scan to revert back??
