• 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 attempting to program a Radio Shack Pro 92 with the Indianapolis MECA trunked setup (Motorola II).

Basis question ... on normal frequencies I know to leave the delay indicator set to catch the continuing conversation before scanning moves on ... BUT what about when setting up Motorola trunking frequencies / talk-groups??

I thought for trunking the delays should be deactivated, but noticed in the WIN92 software tables, "Trunk Rescan Delay" is mentioned. Does this mean that the trunking frequencies should retain the delay status ... or is this something completely different?

(Eventually plan to move to Pro 96 ... trying to get a handle on the basics with the Pro 92 I have available now).

Thanks.

I agree with what you are saying regarding the delay. Because not always does the next piece of the conversation come immediately after the last person keyed. But a wise man here on the board suggested that the delay be off in all trunked systems. So far I've run with his suggestion and haven't really had much problems.

Although I'll admit that I have only been causually listening and more to identify the talkgroups here while I'm on vacation. So it's working fine for that. ;)
