• 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 am new to this scanning.. I live in New Orleans. I just read that the NOPD has switched to a new digital radio system with "PRO VOICE" technology. I was reading up on the radio Shack Pro96 and several other Apco-25 digital receivers.. Could someone tell me if any of these digital scanners will receive the NOPD?? I am really confused My email address is rjf1923@cox.net.. H E L P !!!!!!! :( :( :( :(

No scanner now will do it, and odds are strongly against one ever in the future. Hit the "search" link at the top and hunt "provoice" if you want more info.

Well that really sucks..I'm sure glad that you got back with me before I waisted my money on one of those new 500.00 digital scanners..I used to work for the City of NO and we were always behind other cities on everything.. I can't believe that the new radio systems are "cutting edge"..Thanks for the info.. Ferrier

They aren't "cutting edge" - just using a brand that sells system which use a proprietary system.

Well,
If you can find one for a deal, get an Ericsson LPE-200 and make sure it has the option 29 flash (ProVoice IMBE) in it. Then..just program it up.

It's much easier to find the radio than it is to find the software...radios are all over, software...not the same story.
