• 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 mode?

Passed through a area last night, the pro-96 picked up a DG on a frequency and it wasn't a ghost. There is no 9600 P-25 control channel at all in this area for this freq. The only ones are for the Army 400mhz trunked sites. I checked for a repeater frequency that would go off the same time as the transmissions- nothing.

The transmissions stayed active. I pulled out a BC-3000 to check and see if what i was picking up with the 96 was fact, sure thing, the steady buzz of a digital modulated transmission/s.

These transmissions were probably simplex and they were in fact non-encrypted. Thing is the 96 would not spit the audio out. Sounded like the same way as when tracking a trunked system when the scanner doesn't lock onto the voice right away once a transmission starts, or there are terrain problems with the signal incoming. garble/warbling with the voices.

This was very strong in the area i passed through. Is it possible they were using a digital mode in which the pro-96 will not receive? Anyone have any idea? Thanks, John.
