• 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.

If you aren't familiar with programming (and it doesn't sound like you are) it might be easier for you to post the codeplug and let someone fix it vs someone trying to explain what to look for and how to fix it.

Basically you need to see what conventional personality is assigned to zone 8, channel 1 and make sure it's in the proper scan list. Then you need to check that conventional personality and make sure the scan list is assigned to it. Kind of scares me that the programmer who made the codeplug doesn't know how to fix that....

It is an easy fix if you know what you are looking for. Like I mentioned it's concerning that the local radio techs don't seem very skilled.

Basically each channel (mode in the programming software CPS) has to have a personality assigned to it. the personality assigned to your channel that doesn't scan sounds like its not set up to scan the Scan List.

Um..yeah. They just handed over the programming computer and cable to a fellow who can't put together a readable sentence with proper grammar. :roll:
