• 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.

Hey everyone, please forgive my ignorance here. I'm new to the whole trunking thing.

I am trying to find what equipment would be necessary to listen to police/fire/ems, etc that are using T25.

I work for the Daily Texan, the student newspaper at the University of Texas. We have an old PRO-2021, but it has been incapable of receiving anything useful for some time now. It's time to upgrade.

What scanners can monitor T25 traffic in Austin (Travis County) Texas? And more importantly, does anyone know of the most inexpensive way to monitor this traffic?

Thanks everyone,
~shaun, kd5etn

Hi Shaun;

A PRO-96 or PRO-2096 will work fine. For serious monitoring - there is enough traffic to keep multiple scanners busy.

Hey Rick,

Thanks for the info. Those things are pricey! I wonder if the board will go for it. Is there anything left for this PRO-2021 to do? i cant seem to find anything in this town that's not trunked.

Thanks again for the info
