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.

In the near future didn't we hear that like almost 2 years ago? Does the pager have to go back to the dealer or even unication or is it a download option?
This is Great news!
Please bring back the "monitor" mode with it....
....Please.....

Still no scan delay and a scan/hold/resume button?

He said “Phase II FDMA...” in the video and said it would support Phase II next year as David has already said. So I’m calling BS on that video of it on Phase II.

Didn't think so -- that just looked like a local reseller marketing video vs. anything specific to Phase 2.

The one I saw was an MSP barrack on FiRST (and the barrack talk groups are phase 2 only)
When you say phase 2 ONLY, your the system admin or have access to the system to verify these are locked onto phase 2.
I ask because most if not all phase 2 systems are backwards compatible with phase 1 just in case a radio affiliates and its not phase 2 capable. XTS2500 / XTS5000 come to mind portable wise. XTL2500 mobile.
Case in point new system just went online near me 3 weeks ago and for a few hours their main fire dispatch channel was phase 1.
Unless the talk group is locked down for phase 2 only by the system admin its entirely possible it could have been phase 1 while in use for a short period of time.

I’m not a system admin for FiRST. But When running programming our Harris radios for FiRST we had neglected to click Phase 2 capable for FiRST. It would affiliate with the Statewide Interoperability talkgroups (and I can confirm we were bringing the groups down to phase 1) but it would not affiliate with the State Police talkgroups. Clicked phase 2 capable (only change that was made) and it affiliated just fine... so like I said the MSP talkgroups on FiRST are phase 2 only. I DO know what I am talking about and I don’t have to be the system admin.
Here is a video of the unit receiving Phase II Traffic on the Plano, Allen, Wylie, Murphy (PAWM) Simulcast system.

Well boys and girls, there it is straight from the Unication guru ! Sounds good David. Looks like the talkgroup is holding a big longer too so as not to scan on to another talkgroup. Hopefully a delay was built in or programmable. I’m getting beaten up on some of the busier systems.

Hooray.
Nice example, im listening to the phase 1 stuff on the same system while my APX listens to garland and my HP2 listens to Phase 2 on PAWM

I'm quite confident that the radio will handle both Phase 1 and Phase 2 together. However, David can confirm for us.
It is not uncommon (at all) for a single system/site/control channel to serve up both Phase 1 and Phase 2 talkgroups. In some cases, a talkgroup could easily switch from Phase 2 to Phase 1 and back to Phase 2 within minutes. There are also many systems that contain a mix of Phase 1 and Phase 2 talkgroups.
