• 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 recently purchased the VX P829 portable. I am trying to see if there are any specific scan settings to allow the radio to pick up a frequency before it drops off. When scanning I generally hear everything during a signal zone scan. The question is in "all zone scan" mode. Is there a setting that will allow me the best scan time , enough to slow down and pause on each frequency. I think it scans pretty fast right now.

Well you can set the scan speed as low as 1 second. Radio will never scan as fast as a scanner.
Press the assigned scan button once that's scan the zone your in based on your programming if you press the scan button again it goes into RWSAN mode to ignore a channel that be hanging due to PL issues or a unit pressing the ptt on accident you can hold the scan button and it will temp ignore that channel until you turn scan off or turn the channel knob.
