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.

In a single zone LSM build, it makes perfect sense, considering the fleet mapping. In our case, several users/stakeholders we dispatch for roam the
ENTIRE zone whereas some are geographically separated. When we designed the failsoft plan, we did try to geo-isolate the users from each other failsoft frequency wise. But when you only have 11 channels to work with, you're going to have some people on failsoft frequencies sharing with each other. In this case, we did this by agency type/response plan relative. (In other words, we have SO, which is a countywide entity, sharing F/S with our county marshals, school police, etc which are all countywide ops wise and law related and often back each other up on high priority calls).
This was the most difficult stages of fleet mapping for our agency.
Must be nice to be able to afford it. Out of all the Astro 25 deployments in my town, (13 or so), only 1 has DSR (take a guess, the one with the most money)Ah, DSR is such a wonderful thing if you're lucky enough to have it!

Can confirm, pre-7.16 individual sub-sites can and will go into failsoft independently.
Post-7.15, I seem to remember an option being present to disable subsites during prime site link downs. Something about dual controller failure there is a semi-coordinated failsoft launch at the associated sub-sites but if an individual sub goes down due to a link issue the sub will take itself down. I want to say there were also some limitations attached that required a co-located prime site.

If an idividual subsite loses it's site link it will be voted-out. If it went into failsoft you would have major interference as the other subsites would still be wide-area.
If your prime site loses connectivity to the ZC you go into site trunking.
If you lose your prime site ( and don't have geo-prime) you either go dark or into failsoft if enabled.

I guess I need to find out what version we are running for a definitive answer. The state put 2 sites up and our county built 2 more for indoor coverage issues, I'm assuming everyone is on the same version.
This is my collection of P-25 docs, I'll add to it if anyone here has more info to offer.
thanks

Jay, that P25_audio.pdf is a good read. I actually did a test similar to that (primary difference was a different Tascam recorder, used a computer as a tape source and didn't loop it back in, used an XTS5000 instead of the XTS3000). The article with audio links (free to use) is on my LinkedIn profile.
