• 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.

firmware N5R-213
chirp-daily 20150814

Problem:
radio is set to dual watch with no priority.
radio set to slot A and receives RX on slot B
radio then flips back to slot A to TX.
Same happens if B slot is selected and picks up RX on slot A, it reverts to slot B to TX.

Yes dual watch still works, but this bug/coding causes TX problems.
Person one has radio set to the following
A 154.6 Mhz
B 446 Mhz
TDR is on
A is active

Person two has radio set to
A 146.52
B 446
TDR is on
B is active

Person 2 uses slot B to call 1.
Person 1 hears 2 on slot B. ok
Person 1 responds to call but radio switches to slot A (its starting position)
Person 2 can not hear person 1 because of freq differences.


I posted this to CHiRP mail list and Jim reported back it is an unfixable issue with this firmware, seems to be the newer firmware.

How many more firmware versions have this error?
I'd avoid radios with those firmware versions
