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.

PassPort
PassPort has few law enforcement users for the same reason as LTR, slow access, no priority and no emergency feature.
There is a system in TN as mentioned and a fed system in ID. Both are UHF.
SMR systems in quite a few states. All of them on UHF plus one on VHF.
Anyone know about 800 and 900. Only know of one on 900.

Been using Passport for around 5 years or so. Started with 800 LTR and Passport and now use UHF passport. LTR and conventional all in the same switch sharing some channels between all 3. 6 sites in the sytem all using the 3 protocols.

Adams County MS E-911 Communications District: LTR Passport, for its multitasking capabilities, growth potential, and cheaper than most Motorola and EDACS systems.. and there are the crosssystem capabilities... LTR Standard can use Passport, and vice versus.
Buncombe County NC will be switching in the next few years to an LTR Passport system also.
The folks that diss Passport, and LTR in general really have no reason too with the growth and expansion capabilities of these systems. The only gripe I have is as a scanner user,.. LTR Passport is a pain to monitor. LOL

Bloomfield and Windsor, CT have each installed Passport systems.
The Bloomfield system is in use by most town agencies (PD has a conventional backup).
The Windsor system has been shut off. There is not official word on why but the rumor is too many complaints about the time it took to affiliate with the system. I have heard that perhaps conventional LTR will go in but nothing for sure yet.

Easy. Firstly put in all the repeaters with NO, I repeat NO delay,.. monitor it conventionally. If its not too busy, itll be easy to monitor. If its busy, itll be a PITA,..
If you put delays on the repeaters, it'll lock up on the data bursts every two seconds,.. and youll miss activity.
There is a trick to it using a scanner that has multiple priority chans. If the system has ten, or less freqs,.. you put them all in priority chans, and priority scan them, again with NO delays. This is as close to trunktracking as you can get on a Passport LTR so far. Eventually (in the next 5 years) youll see a Passport, and possibly, an Multinet LTR capable scanner.

Plans are currently in the works to expand the current Montgomery County Public Safety LTR Passport system into a 7 county regional trunking system (North-Middle Tennessee Regional Public Safety System).
This plan, initiated by the regional homeland security council of Montgomery, Stewart, Houston, Humphrey, Cheatham, Dickson and Robertson Counties, is to allow interoperable communications within the 7 county region. There are plans for an Iden console (Nextel), APCO 25 integration, and patch ability into the Clarksville 800Mhz digital ProVoice system and Nashville 800Mhz digital APCO25 system.
All 7 counties have been updated in the database under "North-Middle Tennessee Regional Public Safety System".
