• 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.

Not a problem, I started working on that spreadsheet yesterday for my own amusement. I have limited channel availability in my current gear and was trying to make sure I had some super quiet pl tones, and then some universal PL tones so I started the spreadsheet as a cross reference. Guess it was just good timing and glad I could help. I have some data on the DQT and DPL tones, but since I havnt really ventured into that arena yet, its not in a clean format to post and compare.

If you are referring the sound effects that sound like a phone ringer then no they don't do anything

I have a set of radios, can't remember the make right now, but when you double tapped the ptt the ringer rang and if setup the other radio vibrated. I do know that it only worked for those brands of radios as I also have 2 pairs of undiens and they would not trigger the vibrator with their ringer.
