• 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.

I'm picking up a Motorola TRS on an odd frequency in Sioux City (IA/NE/SD tri-state area). On some days 820.575 is a control channel and on other days it has analog voice. It is not in the FCC database. The problem is that I can't find anything other frequencies to go along with it. I wonder if there could be something in the 824-849 range that is blocked from my scanner. Any ideas?

Your radio is picking up an image

I'm sure someone local could provide more info as to which specific Freq

Correct me if i am wrong but wouldnt that be the input of the repeater. 800mhz uses standard 45mhz offset on the negative side..
So you add 45 to 820 and you get 865.575.
NOW technically nothing should be there because thats in the Nextel Re-banded split. But im just guessing here.

It must be an image because I can't pick it up on my ham radio. It doesn't seem to match any moto system in the area, and there aren't many to choose from. The signal is incredibly strong. I already checked 865.575 & got nothing--plus that wouldn't explain the days when it's a control channel. Thanks for the ideas. I'll keep searching.

It would be helpful if you stated what model of Motorola radio you are hearing this on...
As others have stated, it is most likely an image. If we knew the IF frequency, it could be determined
using 2A-B. (or a subset of it)

In the meantime, it is likely the Tri-state p25 system that you are hearing. listen to the control channels, and figure it out!

Most Motorola radios won't even allow you to enter that frequency in since it's an input frequency.

I didn't see any mention that a Motorola radio was used.
