• 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.

Please explain different sites

Obviously, the RR database is wrong. So which of the 37 freqs. are on that one site? A Motorola system can have only 28 freqs. max., plus other freqs. for Intellirepeaters and simplex ops.

If there is only one site, why are there 3 locations; Gainsville, Hawthorne & High Springs listed under the county site, WPTC649 in the FCC database?
Perhaps they are Intellirepeaters - we have 9 of them, plus 5 Simulcast sites in my city.

Strange doings down there in humidland. :)
Here is a link to the system - and it shows only 28 frequencies.... hmm

http://home.cfl.rr.com/scanner/acso.htm

Maybe I need to plug them in, and find out which is the control channel from there.

AHA ! I think you have finally found the correct info. Also, I think you will find that there are 2 or possibly 3 Simulcast sites. Gainsville, High Springs and Hawthorne. But that won't matter to you since you are in Gainsville.

I still recommend you put in all the freqs. and don't worry about CC only. Then, if and when the CC changes you won't lose the system.
Have fun,
Dick

Suppose after you figure out the correct lineup and site information, you do submit it on the DB submission page. That way the next person won't be nearly as confused as you (and me for that matter.) :confused:

Well, I have the 28 frequencies that are listed on that other page, and it seems to be working fine.

I will submit them to the DB, but I'd also like to find out which is the control channel. How would I do this?

When the scanner is monitoring the system and there is no voice traffic, press HOLD. The frequency shown is the control channel freq (actually, you don't even have to press hold...the freq shows in the 3rd line).
