• 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.

Question on Non-Adjacent Site Search

So what happens if you have Non-Adjacent Site Search enabled vs disabled. With it disabled will the radio only look at the first control channel programmed and then if you are out of range of that control channel it won't look at the other control channels programmed in the trunked system? Say you have two control channel programmed in your radio with NASS disabled, you are out of range for the first one. You turn on your radio cold, will the radio only look at the first control channel programmed and not look at the second one?

Would like some clarity on what NASS is used for with an example.

Disabled means the radio will use the adjacent site info sent over the control channel. Enabled means the radio will check the frequencies programmed into the control channel list in the radio. If you have a lot of CC's programmed it could take several seconds to "look" at all of them, causing you to miss traffic.
