• 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.

So I recently came into possession of a set of three lightly used Moto Talkabout T-7100 combo rigs. (Don't ask how.) There was no documentation with them, although I'm already more or less intimately familiar with configuring them from my years of working with the crappy model-5000 Talkabouts, since they're more or less configured the same way.

Thing is, how do you shut off that annoying end-of-transmission beep dysfeature on a 7100? It seems I can sit there holding down "+" and switching the unit on and off until the cows come home and it doesn't seem to make any difference!

This is the very first link that came up when I googled talk about t7100 manual:
http://www.buytwowayradios.com/Products/Motorola/manuals/T7100-manual.pdf

(I bet you would have found it, too, if you had googled it.)

Thanks.

Hmmm... page 17 says to push and hold "+" whilst switching the unit on. Strange. So either I must have a bad set of rigs or the information in the manual is wrong. The procedure to disable the annoying key tones seems to work, though.

"I'll bet you would have found it, too, had you run a World Wide Web search for it."

No, I probably wouldn't have, since neither Startpage nor Ixquick turned up anything of the sort. (I think they were having problems on Sunday, since I wasn't getting much response out of either site when looking for other things, either.) Look at my sigblock--that's a hint.

That, and being a proper name Google is a noun, not a verb. Proper names are not used as verbs in English.
