• 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.

What is this?

Ok I know that a regular scanner cant pick up trunking right? Well I hear these weird noises like a disel truck, and things like that, are those trunking channels? Im regular scanner picks up 800-960mhz and sometimes those freqs that are coded or trunked i thing sometimes i hear ppl on it like a regular freq, for example 868.1000 one day it will sound like a disel truck and one day i will hear ppl on it talking, someone know whats going on?

Yes a non trunking scanner can pick up and listen to trunking freqs. The problem is they can follow the system.

the sound you are hearing is the control channel. but the scanner cant follow the talk groups. you can enter all the repeater channels and still hear a lot.
