Negative. You need the KCH-20R for Multi-View Display

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.

Thanks, that's what I figured - I might be mixing up the two orders I just made, we also ordered a single-deck radio for another truck and maybe that was the one I got the basic display on. Much appreciated.

If you want to see all 3 decks at the same time, you want the full feature head.
^ and in the setup you described I'd think you'd want to have that access on the display so I'd for sure want the 20R if possible.

Hello all and I apologize in advance for showing up and starting with questions.
We are having a stuttering effect when our NX-5200 radios are on the scan. The radio traffic is broken and almost undiscernable only when in scan mode. When the radio is not scanning the traffic is perfect. I am new to the radio programming game and am not familiar with the different settings.
Would someone be able to provide me with some generic settings for the dropout delay, dwell, and look back times?

Describe in better/greater detail what you mean by stuttering.

03msc,
Thanks for responding and offering to help. The communication is cut out or something similar to a tapping throughout the transmission. Once again this is only when on the scan mode. I have been focusing on the priority scans and am now considering removing them altogether.

Yep, sounds exactly like it is supposed to operate when in priority scan mode and it is receiving a channel other than the priority channel (the drop-out is when it's checking the priority channel for traffic). If you turn off priority it should go away. You can also change your priority configuration as far as which channel is priority (i.e. currently selected channel, a specific pre-set channel, etc.
That's really just personal preference. I think there are some default settings in those fields but you can adjust them to whatever suits you.
Does anyone know how selecting a DMR talkgroup behaves on the radios? For instance, I'd like to have a single personality for each of the timeslots of a local repeater with selectable groups on each. Right now I've got a single personality for each timeslot, set up with "selcall on PTT" and set to a group ID. I'm wondering how this setup behaves with the "group" menu item and how/if the selected group ID persists for future PTTs. Ideally I'd like to be able to select the group ID once and have the radio continue to use it until I change it again.
The DMR function reference guide isn't too clear on what actually happens when you use the DMR Group menu item. Can anybody shed some light on this? I would very much like to avoid selecting the group ID I want every time I PTT.

It does not work well.
I have issues with it when I try to select a group dynamically using Group menu item. Once the timer runs out it'll revert to Selcall on PTT (if selected) or a non-existent talkgroup (if no Selcall on PTT). It won't stay persistent (at least that I could find) and it would require selecting the group each time. I've been unable to determine which Reset Timer affects this (but I can't stand ham DMR so I didn't put too much energy into it).
I suggest creating each personality with Selcall.

I've got the 5700 (main deck) & 5800 with full control head. Is there a setting to keep the main deck from overriding the secondary deck when it's selected?
I've got my radio programmed in conventional with personalities. When I want to hear the UHF side, my VHF will override the UHF even if the UHF is selected for transmit.
I was told a few Firmware versions ago that there was no fix for this. I'm probably a few version behind and wonder if it's been fixed.

How many speakers do you have? What is your set up for audio routing
I programmed a key for 'Unselected RF Deck Speaker' to mute or unmute the other decks.

I've got one speaker for both decks. Audio routing is from the back of the control head to the 9pin cable.
I like this idea. I'll look for this setting in the software.
Primary audio comes out of the speaker on the basic head unless you use external speakers on EACH DECK.
(same goes with the KCH20 with the KCT72 on the head)
To get full all deck receive you need to use external speakers on each deck (kes-5 with the KAP-2 or the mini speaker)

was thinking about getting a nx5800 for my vehicle, sent you an email , myles
Does anyone know if the nx-5200 / nx-5700 is part 80 certified? I can't find anywhere saying what its certified for. I think I read somewhere that they didnt do Part 95 on the uhf Models this time around..... didnt stop me from programming GMRS lol. I'd like follow the rules though on part 80.

Yes.
Kenwood has been doing Part 80 with most of their modern radios. Kind of nice.
Not to be nit-picky, but if you really want to follow the rules, programming Part 80 frequenices/working on marine radios requires a GROL. But like you said about GMRS, it doesn't stop most people.
