• 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.

When you have a system such as the one below, how do you program the various sites?

http://radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=408

This system has three sites, I entered the primary sites frequencies into a system set but the control frequency is on site threes' list. I can't add site 2 and three frquencies into the same system because of duplicate LCN's

Should I enter each site and the respective frequencies as a separate system?

You should ask this question in the New York forum. Each site should have a Control Channel, even though it is not listed. These files may not be accurate.
But it would be logical to assume you won't hear anything from the World Trade Center site. And unless you're driving through the Holland Tunnel, there is no point in hearing that site.
That leaves only site 001.

Each EDACS site must be treated as a seperate system. You don't say what model of scanner you have, but in general, each site for EDACS (and Motorola as well) must be entered seperately, in its own bank or system.

Not exactly. EDACS, yes. Morotola, not necessarily, unless the systems are close geographically. In a normal scanner with banks, such as a PRO-95, you can theoretically have 25 Motorola systems in one bank (4 control channels per system). For example, Seattle, Portland, Salem, San Francisco, etc., etc.
