• 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.

Just thinking here about an easy way to travel and monitor a system so I'm wondering what the limit is on the number of control channels. Thinking if I just put in the control channels for the statewide system and used wildcards as I drive it would just move on to the tower it can pickup. Is this wrong? I'm only talking about for areas I don't normally travel and this as a way to still use the G5 to monitor them.

I have all the CC's for NC Viper for the towers that cover I-95 programmed in and all the TG's for NCHP. assigned it to one knob position and it roams perfectly as I travel.

You don't need to count them but can you give me a guess as to how many control channels you have programmed in there?

Unication website says you can input up to 256 Control Channels, unless there's a new update that allows MORE.
