• 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.

Operating some 1225's inside a large concrete building. What is the difference between AND/STD and AND/OR, Local and Distance, and which are the best to use in that environment? Getting some static after letting off the key.

Rules for unmuting/muting:

AND = requires both carrier and PL/DPL before radio unmutes
OR = Either loss of carrier OR loss of PL/DPL will mute radio
STD = requires PL reverse burst or DPL turn off code to mute (will eventually mute with loss of carrier).

OR mute is better at reducing squelch bursts at the end of transmissions however it may false at lower receive signals.

Local/Distant just reduces the receive sensitivity a little bit. Could also help on squelch bursts depending on the source
but will reduce your range.
