if it's going to be used on a trunking system and need a key have the system administrator program it or it'll never work right.

Reprogramming will be easy, and better if you have the system key, as you state you have.

I can do the work for you, but I would need a letterhead from your department stating you are authorized for access on that system.

Sorry, I don't need the troubles that come along with rogue radio IDs.

If all is legit, the radio gets programmed.

A fleet map is appreciated as well.....

Control channels, failsoft(if used)

Tone/s used

Features to enable...like phone

You know the rest.

Please use the information below, and I prefer to not be contacted via batlabs, use standard Email or phone thank you.

doesnt matter if the code is in another codeplug, without the system key file, the RSS will refuse to program the radio with that TRS in it.

it will still be easier if it is legit to have the system administrator do it.

There have been MANY threads on this subject.

The end answer is always the same (and the best): Unless you want to risk trouble with local law enforcement, your best bet is to simply invest in a trunking-capable scanner.

Programming any Motorola trunked radio for any given compatible system requires a system key. These keys are under tight control of the system owner(s). If you really want to use that radio, even as a receive-only jig, you'll need the blessing of the system owner to do it. Period.

Attempting to do otherwise, in these ultra-paranoid days of post-9/11, especially in Los Angeles, is like painting a big target on your back that says I'M MONITORING YOUR FREQUENCIES WITH A HACKED RADIO -- PLEASE HARASS ME, and parading back and forth with it in front of the nearest cop-shop.

Save yourself the pain. Go grab a Bearcat or similar scanner. I've been led to believe that the BC-796D is pretty impressive.

Happy hunting.

What trunking scanner can one purchase today that will work in a few years after the rebanding fiasco? GARY N4KVE

This website lists scanners that can be reflashed or otherwise reprogrammed to deal with rebanding:

I like my BCD396T handheld. Audio is not as good as a Motorola, but I'm very impressed.

It came with batteries, charger, programming cable and the software for about $500.00.

All of this fiasco and in four years "Nextel" is offline. This is all BS!
