• 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.

oh.............well thanks anyway

Just put the frequencies into your scanner and listen to them like normal frequencies and you will be able to listen to the traffic on these frequencies.

Re-Mpt-1327 Talkgroups

i should have said VHF voice paging, we use VHF alfa paging in the same freq. 150.545

Hi Firefgtr, yep, I know what you mean, I would really like to listen to just the Fire Department on the Mpt-1327 system with my BC 250D scanner but there is no way to do it with a scanner, the old 149.440 paging frequency is still in use. I have been listening to the Mpt-1327 for the past several nights and have noticed a lot of open carrier's on the system, I don't know if there having problems with the system again like last summer, I do know that the Niagara Falls fire dept. is still not happy with the Mpt-1327 radio system, and they made it clear last summer in an artical in the Niagara Falls Review Paper. I think if there is a chance that they are going to opt. out of this radio system if things don't get better very soon.

Do you want to listen to the MPT1327 net when mobile or when sat at home near a PC? If the latter then there are several pieces of software (and hardware options) that will allow you to track the MPT1327 system rather than rely on just scanning the voice freqs in conventional manner.
MPT1327 systems are extremely common around the world and it's interesting to hear that your system has had so many problems. I've not come across systems with problems over here and would suspect in your local case the system has not been implemented well.

Do you have a weblink to the newspaper article about it?
