• 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 have an icom f121 and have a channel where no c tone is required on TX . I have tried putting 0.00000 mhz and null in but the software keeps automatically filling in whatever the RX tone is. What do I need to do to make this stop?

Thanks!

If the radios program like the F30GT, then it is either no tone Rx or TX, only a Tx tone, or Rx/Tx tones. I have not heard of a system that transmits CTCSS but does not require one to access. You will have to put "none" on the receive tone setting to set the Tx tone to null.

Is there a problem with transmitting the Rx tone?

No Tone

Hmm, do you need to have a rx tone? And no transmit tone, that seems a tad bit odd of a setup.

Check the mode in the common screen for simplex as well or ctcss both, I forget exactily what its called. But, that might be part of the issue as well. I don't have the software in front of me to play with at the moment.

Instead of direct entry, mouse click the box and you should get a drop down box with choices. Click none from there.
