• 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.

Programming a priority channel on a M1225 Radius

I need to program a 4 channel M1225 Radius to scan 2 channels, but I would like 1 of the 2 to be a priority channel.

I'm unable to test the two channels that I will need to program as the radio will be in another location and these 2 channels are too far away to be received.

I'm guessing that on the scan window I select Priority Type as "Single Priority"?

Then Do I select the channel that I want to be the priority channel as the "Priority One Channel"?

Does enabling "Priority Channel Tone" cause a tone when it switches to the Priority Channel?

Does "Priority Sampling Rate" change how often the Priority Channel is monitored when on another channel?

And just curious is there a way to set more than one priority channel if desired for possible future use? I didn't see a way to do this.

Thanks for any help, I tried to search for an answer and failed. For now I programmed a NOAA weather channel that I can receive then another nearby station that transmits from time to time but so far after about an hour it has never switched over so I'm wondering if I didn't program it properly.
