You sir are completely wrong.

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.
NX5300 cannot talk DMR direct to xpr7550

Wrong, set to none will receive only the transmit group as was pointed out.
I got back from business trip.
So, I was right and wrong at the same time. Old Gen1 Motorola radios with old firmware worked as described = no RX List = No reception at all. But newer firmware radios will receive the same group that is set for TX. So, TX Contact Name allows reception of the same contact (group in case of Group List) automatically.
But! If you set None for TX Contact Name, your XPR will not be able to receive anything. So, if you're not intended to transmit, but want to listen, set RX GL to something you need. And if you want to listen more than 1 group, you MUST set RX GL.
So, I agree with you, that I was partially wrong. Appearence I described valid for old radios with old firmware. And when TX CL set to None.
Anyway, Kenwood NX5000 requires RX Group list. Group set for TX only will not allow radio to receive it. Radio will remain unmuted, but will be able to transmit.

Even with old gen 1 radios, you do not need an rx group list. So, you were not right.
Revert to old firmware first. Like R01.05.00.
AND on any firmware, set TX to None. I will be right in these cases.

I agree with you that each radio really should have its own seperate ID number, especially when using the individual calling feature, but as info the DMR MARC staff have a different opinion on that, they continue to respond with the statement of "two radios can have the same id". I strongly disagree with them. Anyway, I was told by DMR-MARC STAFF that the maximum number of ID numbers per registrant (Call Sign) is a quantity of (2) two.
on NX-5300, I cann't find where to set a RX Group.
my NX-5300 doesn't work with Repeater but Talk Around Mode works well.
The Kenwood NX5000 series works fine using DMR simplex talking to Motorola XPR radios (6500, 7500 & 5550 radios). Talking through a DMR repeater also works equally well. It has everything to do with programming the radios correctly.
Thank you, Maybe it's the Repeater's problem. The repeater is built by a MMDVM device.
Hey Dave, You are dealing with a person who knows our jobs better than we do. End of story,
Honky, I am talking to a friend who has the MMDVM and see if we can't test a few things out with it.
The MMDVM author is in our chat group on NXDN, and said he will take a look at it soon, right now
he has some personal time he is taking for the end of the year.
Keep in touch with me, I will let you know when we start this project and work on the Open Voice and
a few other things we are going to try with the Kenwood on the MMDVM.

Thanks. G4KLX (MMDVM author) replied on github said he tested no problem.

All my radios have the same ID number, & DO talk to each other. There is a setting in the radio that prevents this, but I forget what it is called. I go to the mall with my wife, & talk simplex with both radios having the same ID number. Also NONE of my radios have RX groups, because around here there is only 1 TG on a TS.
