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.

Yes -- and no.
SmartNet II is simply a feature set available for Type II trunking systems. Some of the features are esoteric; the most notable is "Priority Monitor," a system that enables a priority function while scanning the trunked system.
SmartZone is a system that involves linking two or more SmartNet "systems," which are now called "zones." In its most general form, SmartZone has two functions of note: a subscriber unit properly programmed for SmartZone operation will select the appropriate "zone" on its own, as the subscriber moves about; and some (but not all talkgroups) will be repeated on a non-native "zone" if a subscriber has affiliated to that "zone" and is selected on that talkgroup.
A SmartZone subscriber unit must be capable of affiliating, which means it must have a valid UserID. A SmartNet radio, however, can listen to all traffic on any SmartZone "zone" except that "zones" must be selected manually.

Please do not cross-post. This topic doesn't even belong in this forum.
