• 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.

You will need someone to either find the interference blocking the paging signal in your problem area (assuming the signal values are correct) OR find someone competent in DAS to fix/fill in the missing coverage. TT

You are going to have challenges. I just deployed a VHF P25 system. The repeater is on a water tower at 150', the hospital is 4000 feet away. We had to add another repeater to the inside of the hospital to make the portables useable. The noise floor in the ER was between -97 and -104. You are going to have to move the transmitter or simulcast. Whoever set this up for you guys had no business in doing so.

Well, -70 is not great but not terrible. Most lmr systems run street level at -70 in areas further away from TX center. That said a -.5 change with your amp on sounds a bit problematic. I would start looking at that first.
