• 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.

A bit of a long shot...

I don't suppose anybody knows how to program 4 conventional channels into a Series 2 Tait T2030 Trunked radio?

It can be done but its just a question of knowing how. I've tried adding the 4 conventional channel with frequencies but the radio doesn't do any thing because its still in trunked mode. I've used up all my T2010 conventional boards and the only thing I have is T2010 firmware but I don't know how to flash that to the radio.

The best way would be to program the Tait T2030 with 4 conventional channels in the Trunked Tait application... if anybody knows how it would save me having to hunt for another T2010 board.

Thanks.

OK I take it nobody knows....

Maybe this question might be easier....

If anybody knows how to program a conventional channel into a trunked radio "any radio" I read something about the channel needing to be added to a trunking network... I don't understand trunking so if there is any life out there and you know about how to add conventional channels to a trunked system then please let me know.

I don't recall exactly how the Tait programming is laid out, but I suspect that you wouldn't add a conventional channel to the existing trunking programming. Rather, I would think that any conventional channels should be in a separate system/personality, which you likely need to create in the CPS if one doesn't already exist.

If you can't seem to make ANY changes to the programming, it could be that the radio will not allow programming changes without a system key for that particular trunking system being present.

...just some possibilities to chew on.

Thanks for the info much appreciated. I think you maybe right that Conventional channels can't be added either that or I need to put the 4 conventional channels in another part of the CPS. I try and make a bit more sense of it but if I get nowhere with it, the good news is that I can upgrade the firmware that will allow Conventional mode although a lot more harder to do that way.
