• 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.

Hello!

I am new to Cap+ and I just purchased a repeater for my smaller sized business. We use around 15 portables and 2 mobiles, we just got an XPR8400 (UHF). It does have single and multi-site purchased. We would use single-site. I wrote all the proper information and tested with a few portables. The repeater works perfectly on conventional DMR. I don’t know if this is an issue, but on the Cap+ Voice channel, both the TX A and B lights flash and the portables still say out of range. I thought I could be too close to the repeater, but that didn’t help. I used this
video. Also, I did delete the conventional channel and made the Cap+ channel the A channel or channel 1.

Thank you!

You need to configure the subs for a Cap+ system. Once you have created a cap+ system, you need to create your Cap+ talk groups, once you create your talkgroups, you create cap+ channels in a zone. Each channel needs to reference the cap+ system, and have a talkgroup selected to transmit on
