• 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.

Recently west of Ottawa (between Ottawa and Montreal) I've heard UHF LTR on 463.925 and 452.8625. The Industry Canada TAFL database lists it as Mt-Rigaud (Rigaud Mountain) with two other frequencies 451.050 and 463.700. I did not hear idle bursts on the last two channels.

The burst period is about 3s and duration is longer than the usual for LTR, so I wonder if it could be Passport (Eric C., if you're
in the area, you may want to check it, if you're inclined, and I know you are...).

How long between the data bursts?? On some Passport LTR's some of the data bursts are of longer durations... On the Adams County E-911 District Passport LTR, their is about once every ten seconds or so on one or more of the repeaters, a 3 or so second long burst. This is in addition to the usual every 2 seconds quick burst.... Possibly this indicates an MDS?????

The period (interval) is about 3 seconds. The duration of carrier+data sounds a bit more than 1/2s, longer than LTR (I once measured about 1/3s on a 'scope).

Thats LTR Passport

I think it probably is. They're usually too weak to copy at home, but recently were coming in strong early in the morning. I could not get any regular LTR decode using the PRO-92; didn't get a chance to put Ltrtrunk on it :(
