• 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.

Im still having issues sending texts/private calls on IONs R7s and xpr7550e radios. So far ive got them set up well enough to transmit and receive displaying correct radio alias/id's. But when selecting a contact from list to send text to, it sends to all my radios.
The inly way ive accomplished sending a text to just one contact at a time was to right click on a digital channel in cps 2.0 or radio central and select edit, where theres a drop down towards the bottom left, shows "group list" and i select "none" instead of the list that contains all my contacts. Did this for every radio. After that each radio sends/receives texts to only the contact selected BUT i can no longer PTT to anyone. The radios show receiving signal, but no audio. So i had to revert back to reselecting the contact list for "group list" which ended with the texts going to all contacts like before, of course.
Even tried swapping contacts from "members" to "available". Resulting in no transmissions going thru to anybody.
Any ideas on what idiotic things im doing here to screw this up?
Thanks alot.
