• 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've had a solid code plug working flawlessly. I recently moved to another county. I used the same code plug only changing the site, control channels and talk groups, nothing else was changed. Both counties are phase 1 systems. The problem I have now is that I'm not picking up the full transmissions and I'm getting a busy LED flashing from time to time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the Coverage Type SmartZone, if not try that and check under Omnilink if the RFSS is correct or check it off altogether so it ignores needing the correct rfss

Thank you that did the trick. I engaged omni link and put in the correct RFSS.
Yup, thats pretty much it most of the time if the NAS radio isn't setup for data and isn't incorrectly parked on a trunked talkgroup and the radio is flashing. A lot of the settings are left to default site 1, rfss 1, coverage type disabled, omnilink rfss default 1. This would get you by back in the day when systems weren't built out as much. Now today systems can be wide area smartzone,, multiple sites/rfss

The radio turns on with its programming on Site 1 RFSS 1 and suddenly its receiving Site 2 or RFSS 2 and the radio says Whoa, hold up here something is wrong and I should try to talk to the system as it does in these situations. I believe these are typically the logout messages from NAS radios. I use TX Inhibit on mine as they're 800 and I don't need to transmit so nothing is ever tx'ed

TX Inhibit is a piece of mind for nas IMO even though without it works just fine because its setup correctly. But some people talk on a ham repeater on the same radio it's somewhat impractical. But it opens up an issue if you have scan on for ham and trunked and the scan setting on talkback instead of selected channel and end up replying on the trunked system when they think they're replying on the ham repeater....:cautious:
