• 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.

Walk this way...

General>General Settings>Alerts>Call Alert Tone Duration. Use the help to explain.

You can use a QCII channel in scan with the QCII as priority but understand it may not be 100% reliable and that depends on many things.
Scanning two QCII channels is a shipwreck and I advise against it. You can have two or three tone sets in a single channel. Depends on your actual tones and the tone format you choose.
I’ve been looking around to see if I can find an answer but I couldn’t so I’m wondering if you can help me with something else. Is there a way to program the radio with qcii or any way for that matter to pick up not only the tones for fire and ems but also for tones that drop for mutual aid to another dept? Like when tones drop for multiple depts at once with ours included but the tones include other dept as well?
