• 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.

Hello everyone. Would it be possible to program a MaCom P7100ip radio to listen to the San Antonio Fire Department? I know there is a feed for it but I dont know how he/she is doing it. I believe they might have an actual radio to monitor it. If so how would it be done? I would like to program a p7100 radio but wouldnt know how to do so and is it even possible to do so. If It is it would be to listen only and basically turn the radio into a scanner that could not transmit a signal.

They're most likely using DSD to feed that up - or the digital voice conversion method. At any rate, since the SA system is ESK, you're out of luck for listening to it in trunked mode on the 7100 without having an ESK smart card from the SA system administrator.

It is quite possible that the system is being broadcast by an authorized system user (or the system administrator) using authorized system radios. This is a pretty common practice. While it has already been mentioned that you can't do what you are trying to do, it is worth noting that the reason ESK is on a system is to PREVENT exactly what you are trying to do. This is with good reason. Take a look at the P7100 programming thread on this board.
