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.

30MHz, at least it is here in the USA. Not sure where you are located, might be different. If you are running a Motorola radio (or any other name brand), then it should do the offsets for you, automagically.

It should all be in the system key. Are you doing a NAS setup?

You should double check. My gut is telling me it is, but I'm running on US stuff here, so don't trust me on it.
Frankly, it doesn't really matter, as you're not going to be registering/affiliating/transmitting if you set it up correctly. Also, the system broadcasts the appropriate IDEN_UP messages over the control channel anyway for implicit systems, which UHF/700/800/900 almost always are with rare exception.
Good to know. Thank you for the reply!

Correct, for non-affiliate scan the transmit offset is for transmitting to the system and will receive NAS without the correct tx offset. If you put something else in, and by some stupid reason the talkgroup is selected and without tx inhibit on, it will transmit quick packets whatever that other than correct offset may be and without response from the system the radio will promptly display NO COMMS indicating it receives the control channel but did not receive a "handshake" response from the system. Thats is an old safety measure taken by those concerned for their different programming operation on a radio also with NAS or those concerned enough to do it anyways regardless
