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.

Are you using tones over P25, or PageGroups?
Tones

I might be completely clueless! =)
First, set up a Group ID (5) separate from your talk groups and use the P25T Sub-Group column to set up the tones you would like the pager to unmute for. You may also set up the Alert Mode column for how you want the pager to behave when it receives the tones. You will need to set up a separate Group ID for each of the tones you would like the pager to unmute for.
Next, set up a knob position (6) for "Trunking TG-Scan," set up the Binding Feature to "Sub-Group Feature," and set up a Reset Mode. The Reset Modes are where it gets a little tricky. Auto Reset and Selective Manual Reset are the two more useful modes. Auto Reset will unmute after receiving tones and then automatically reset (mute itself) after the dispatch has finished airing information. Selective Manual Reset will unmute the pager and stay unmuted until the user resets it using the side top button.
Check your Delay N Timer and Record Delay Timer, especially if the dispatcher has a long pause between sending the tones and airing the dispatch information (Delay N Timer) or if there is a long pause in the middle of airing dispatch information (Record Delay Timer).
Finally, add the dispatch talk group to Knob - Talk Group List and ensure that you set up the Binding Settings: Sub-Group Setting. In the Sub-Group Settings, Edit the talk group you have added and enable the tones from the first step by checking the box next to the tones. By default, the pager stays muted until it receives the correct tones, but you can have it unmuted by checking the Alternatives box in the Sub-Group Settings.
If you use the Selective Manual Reset, you will need to add talk groups to the Revert - Talk Group List that the pager will monitor after it receives the tones for the first time and set up the Binding Settings: Sub-Group Setting again if you would like the pager to alert to additional tones before it is manually reset using the side button. The Revert list can listen to additional talk groups after receiving the initial tones such as separate response talk groups.
Next, set up a knob position (6) for "Trunking TG-Scan," set up the Binding Feature to "Sub-Group Feature," and set up a Reset Mode. The Reset Modes are where it gets a little tricky. Auto Reset and Selective Manual Reset are the two more useful modes. Auto Reset will unmute after receiving tones and then automatically reset (mute itself) after the dispatch has finished airing information. Selective Manual Reset will unmute the pager and stay unmuted until the user resets it using the side top button.
Check your Delay N Timer and Record Delay Timer, especially if the dispatcher has a long pause between sending the tones and airing the dispatch information (Delay N Timer) or if there is a long pause in the middle of airing dispatch information (Record Delay Timer).
