• 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.

Hi all

I just thought id put on here so people know that the willmar MN Fire Dept and all Kandiyohi county fire departments have been issued there new apco 25 portable Digital radios.
and will be using the same system as stearns county MN is currently using.

Law enforcement is still using vhf and are not planning on joining yet at this time.

i guess it is now time to purchase the digital scanner or we could be left out of the action.


If anyone else from this area has anymore information please reply to keep us all posted.


thanks

Tim, this is probably going to get moved to the MN area forum by an admin. FYI

Where did you get this info? Are you sure that Willmar Fire isn't using P25 VHF conventional equipment? The FCC database doesn't list any 800 MHz frequencies in Willmar.

Give us somewhere to start figuring things out. Thanks,

Matt
