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 protocol is this?

Um exactly what are you trying to do?
I dont think im wanting to download that file and see what it is, its best if you give full detail on what you mean besides saying what protocol is this data.
What is it, what could it be for and what do you intend on doing with it?
Legal or not legal?

It's a conventional data channel. No encryption. As far as I knew, it was legal for me to monitor any channel without encryption.
But since you asked...
It is one of the two data channels used by my local transit authority. I know that it at least gets signpost information as each coach passes it. It might have more data, that's part of what I want to find out. If it turns out its feasable to get location information for each coach, I'd write a program that parses this info and spits it out in a usable format so that it can be mapped. This application already exists, but with a very clunky interface. I've already written my own program that will display all coaches on a particular route, but its limited to one route at a time (due to speed). Also, it does not track buses headed towards a base, and has limited support for "to terminal" (AKA "not in service") coaches.
So there you go. Mostly it's because of curiosity of what's on the data stream, but if I can turn it into an interesting project--cool.

So your saying you can look at a city data grid on your monitor and look at coaches on the move? mmmm ok fair enough... ok just curious, i didnt know what you meant.
I was looking at that application you mentioned, looks neat... but other then that i was lost with what you meant but someone might be able to tell you if they know unless your the only person knowing what it is, someone here should know

Try to listen to the following audio samples at the following and look for corelation
Mabe if you know what protocole is it it will be more easy to look for Decode software or even to write one
