• 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.

If you are on your own home network, make sure nothing else is using that same IP address.
In other words, make sure it is actually the repeater acknowledging the ping, and not something else. Pointing your web browser at the IP address would tell you for sure.
In my Bearcom days we setup for an NBA all star game with their IT guys. After lunch one of our guys said he could not get email, I did the usual checks, could ping the server but not send nor receive. I got their guy involved, he did what I did and we both were stumped.
Then he asked me for the IP, it ended in .28.

He said "just before lunch I took 1-50 out of the pool and assigned those to printers".
I pinged an IP around .240, it was not there so I hard coded that and he got email. I went back to DHCP and by then the router had released the MAC to IP link from before lunch.

Like they said on the old SNL. "its always something".
