• 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.

My fire station has just installed a new PA and alerting system throughout the sleeping bays. I’m looking to either make or find mp3 or wav files of ramp-up tones? Something that starts quiet and ramps up to volume. To not startle you when you are sleeping. I know the phoenix G2 and Purvis systems have this and I’m just trying to diy it with a unication G5.

Thanks

Have you tried a google search? Top result was this website with Fire Dispatch tones. Google really is your friend.

You can use Audacity to add a ramp up any mp3/wav file you like. Try the 'Fade In' in the Effect menu, you can apply it more than once to change the slope of the fade.

I do this with my fleet. I gooled-fu'ed and downloaded zetron station alert controller alert sounds. There's maybe about a dozen sounds, ramped and non-ramped.
