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 don't have thatr loaded here. Either post a screen shot of the main screen and tone table or PM me. I'm betting there's a box not checked. Are you trying to do encode or just decode? You can either have 2 or 5 but NOT both. 2 is common in the US.

I don't give email on here. You should be able to attach a screen shot no matter how new you are. PMs I don't remember.
You should see something like this. Signal and your pair 1, 2, 3

Hey I got it working but I can’t do more than one only 1 tone I have to go in and manually keep changing it can you show me how to set up 5 tone or how you have it set up please

You get 1 pair of encode for 2 tone. Check the timing and pair fields.
I don't do 5 tone so you'll need to read the in sofftware help menu. There's tones and times and function associated.
Most conventional FM radio signalling in the US is DTMF, MDC1200 and 2 tone

How can I use different tones because I need to keep going into the cps and changing the encode I want to use

You get what you get. Mobiles offer more and dispatch consoles, like Zetron, give more.
