• 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.

PD752 to monitor connect+ system...

Hi all,

First off I'd like to apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, and I'd like to clarify that I've looked around on here quite a bit and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to use a Hytera PD752 to scan the Lancaster site of the SaiaNet connect+ system in Buffalo NY. I'm only trying to receive 4 relatively inactive talkgroups, being both LVAC ambulance dispatches as well as the two fire dispatch talkgroups for the Buffalo-Niagara Int'l Airport. I have the 3 voice channels of the Lancaster site programmed in conventional mode and set to pseudo trunk, and the control channel is programmed for slot 2 only. Multiple coverage maps show I'm well within range of this site, and while I do receive bits of conversation, it's occasionally a bit garbled and I often lose pieces of conversation. Granted I don't expect it to be perfect, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to get it to follow the conversations a bit better. The only thing I can think of would be to play with the group call hang time and/or the scan rate for my scan list. Do connect+ systems generally stay on a single talkpath for the duration of a group call or can it change rapidly? If these systems do tend to stick to a single talkpath, ie frequency and time slot, during a given group call, is there a specific setting I should modify to try and match this to follow the conversation or have the radio unmute quick enough to hear the first part of the conversation? Thanks in advance!

Chris

It will work to scan but not transmit.
Iv scanned a couple connect + systems same way. Program each voice frequency and set for pseudo and correct color code, add to a scan list and your good to go. Unless the moto repeater is transmitting a RAS then your sorta stuck. Or if they use basic privacy.

Just for the hell of it if you have send talker alias enabled, try shutting the off. Iv had issues with hytera radios with that enabled not working 100% with motorola, but shut that off and all is good
