• 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.

I have the psr 500 and the 996 and I am not sure what is up with bot of them. I see the 500 will say S11 and 996 will say S41 for the same Freq. Its a edacs STD system. I'm not sure what C07 stands for on the psr 500.

C07 = Channel 7 (i.e. LCN 7)

As far as the 996 and the PSR displaying different site ID, I don't have a 996 around to compare right now. But I don't believe that is true. I think there is something else going on where you aren't looking at the same control channel when you come to that conclusion.

I know, that statement sounds like me being an ass - but that's hardly the case. I'm just being serious. 41 and 11 have no relationship whatsoever - It can't be a case where one scanner is displaying the site in decimal and the other is displaying it in hex. For instance, 41 decimal is 29 hexidecimal, and 11 decimal is 'b' hexidecimal. So I just chalk it up to possibly listening to a different frequency when you noted those two different site iDs.

Your master site
One could be reading different bits in the system announcement. I would wager the GRE is correct.
