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.

Quick google search will inform you of what site trunking is...
"If a significant failure caused the radio tower sites to lose their connection to the master site (possibly due to a zone controller failure), they can operate independently in “site trunking” mode. Users will be able to communicate between towers but will be unable to reach a dispatch center console. The radio display will alternate between “SITE TRUNKING” and the name of the selected talkgroup."

When I setup a VHF P25 site, I messed with Site Trunking.
I found with it selected that my G5 would start receiving an 800 MHz site which is part of the VHF site's system I had programmed.
Even though I never programmed the 800 sites frequencies, the G5 picked the info from the data stream and tuned to the 800 sites CC frequency.
The G5 display also indicated which RFSS and Site it was receiving from which is what told me what it had done. Had I not noticed, I'd have missed traffic as many users are not allowed on the 800 site.
When I unchecked Site Trunking, my G5 has always stayed on the site I programmed.
