• 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.

When using a vrs it is reccomended the mobike be uhf and the portable vhf OR vhf mobile and uhf portable. The bandwidth separation is 12.5 narrow. The vrs portables typically put out a low wattage. The mobile typically can be set to rebroadcast narrow while the portable is wide but may have some issues or none. It's reccomended to keep both narrow. With newer vrs equipment many use 700 mhz for vrs portables while using uhf or vhf mobiles. Honestly if your running a small operation running wide you'd prob get away with until you upgrade to narrow. But it's a risk but not noticeable unless someone reports it. I wouldn't reccomend it but some do it. You'd need to be licensed for the vrs int freq and mobile freq. This is to ensure no one else uses the freq such as a public safety agency.

What type of vrs unit is it you are using and mobile? This would help others find the documents you ask for.

Regardless, the HT-600's and the Syntor can not be used for part 90 frequencies anymore...

If you used it as a ham and did a ham vrs and a monitor type radio also you'd be legit in wideband.

i just bought a bunch of vhf syntor x9000 radios and they came with sirens and repeaters (y1082A). Can anyone tell me about these repeaters? I was told that the Y stood for vhf. Is this correct? Thanks, Don 73"s merry xmas

Those are NOT really repeaters. Rather an Extender, AKA Vehicle Repeater, they add a way for a handheld to talk to the car and the big radio in the car talks to the station. The car radio receives the station, and the VR retransmits on low power to the handheld.

VR is a low power transceiver.

Depends on what the radios are for. If it's VHF, the bi-directional cross band will have a low power UHF radio. If it's low band it could be either UHF or VHF for low power.

Probably would be. A decent setup for a split site repeater.
