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.
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 Motorola TRBO radios can do a true Invitation To Transmit triple beep when set to both FM or TRBO modes. The feature is selectable in the radio and does not get set up via computer programming. It's not a modified anything; it's a true triple beep that is exactly the same as is heard when starting a transmission on a trunked system radio.
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.

If it a 3600 baud control channel then the quoted statement is true. I have both EFJ and Motorola radios on a Moto SmartZone System. If the system is a 9600 baud system then the statement is false and almost any manufacturer, as long as they make a radio in the systems particular band (VHF, UHF, or 800), is supposed to work. Mark
As stated, Mototrbo has some proprietary functions that prevent 100% compatibility with any other brand. Motorola is well known for locking customers into Motorola only features. If you look strictly at the ETSI DMR standard, Kenwood supports it. There are several radios capable of doing it: NX-5000 line NX-3000 line NX-1000 line NX-P1000 ...

Older Motorola radios can work very well for amateur and other use, MURS, GMRS, VHF marine and other bands, but the legal aspect and the cost is often very prohibitive. I tell people that want to get into amateur radio to go Japanese, as in Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom route. It will be cheaper overall and keep you legal.
Dec 21, 2015. #4. Waris series are probably your best bet. HT-750. HT-1250. Your choice, VHF or UHF. HT-1250 is probably what you are looking for, plenty of channels to add the local repeaters plus a couple of simplex frequencies. It's got a fairly nice LCD display so you can alpha tag the channels easily.
Jan 28, 2013. #2. Yes you can. If you have a VHF Motorola you can do 2 meters and a UHF band Motorola will allow you the 440 band. If you're not familiar with the programming of Motorola radios you'll need some extra equipment for that. You'll need a computer, RSS/CPS (software), programming cables and possibly a RIB box depending on the radio.
