• 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.

G5 - No sound

After the last firmware update you now have to set "TONE" for each talk-group or it won't have sound. No, there's no on/off for sound on the pager. Has to be set in the PPS, then uploaded for ALL talkgroups. Each box you create in tab 5 must have TONE on too in the controls. I used to have mine set to silent. Then they changed it on us.

Sadly yes. They changed it last firmware. It IS a pager after all and other changes they made to the tones and alerts effect everything. Be happy. One guy had to change 4000 talk-groups. I only had 10 Zones, maybe 350 talkgroups. I didn't find any large batch editing way like even EZScan has. The alert MODE is the thing that changes it from muted to sound. The Alert Tone for all of mine in the pic above are at "none" because I'm not using it as a pager like the 1st responders do.
