I am looking for a radio that can operate on both LMR frequencies/systems and Motorola Wave. Does this exist?

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.
Wave/P25LMR in one?

NO!
But you can do something similar if you use the Smart Connect solution, not Wave.

Oh well, it's gotta be wave as that's what we use.
Doesn't the Next work with wave ?

Depending on who owns and manages the LMR System and what their rules are, you could potentially do a patch/bridge using the Cubic Vocality boxes.
I don't need a bridge, patch, or gateway. I have am a paramedic and use a few talkgroups on one system, a few talk groups on another system, and a few talk groups on WAVE they are all separate employers/volunteer gigs so no need for interlinking. I am just trying to not have to carry multiple radios.

The bottom line is there is no subscriber unit that supports WAVE and LMR at the same time.
Closest you're going to get is something like a LEX L11 - you can install the WAVE Android app on it, and it'll integrate with an APX portable over bluetooth. I don't think that's a great solution personally though, I've found the LEX clunky at best.
