Hey Blake.



Do you travel through Tulsa? I'd be happy to buy you a lunch to program my
Syntor that I use for the Mounds Oklahoma volunteer fire department. I'm
unit 37 if you happen to just stop in town. You could always make a bogus
fire call, and watch for the blue pickup to go blazing by J

Just some random thoughts.

I am a Fire Chief, and a radio dealer. My department knows
poor. We don't have bootleg software however.

We recomend that where ever one buys a radio, insist on
programming to be included. We provide free reprogramming
when someone buys a radio from us. Customer service.

The MCS2000. Bought off the net. To go on a trunking
system. Good luck with that. Did you make sure you got
the proper options to make it compatable? Smartzone, Smartnet,
signalling, etc? What where the plans for a system key? Unit id?
I usually cringe at the thought of "most" people programming a
trunking radio onto a trunking system, for a variety of
reasons.

Poor Fire Department. As I said, we know poor. I have heard
that claim a lot over the years on the mailing lists. When asked,
the people claiming the poverty either will not ID what department
they are on, or they are on a department that has a budget 10 times
my departments, with a smaller coverage area.

What department are you with?

One time, an individual was on here claiming departments poverty,
and said roughly where he was. Turns out he was in an area that we travel
to.

We offered to stop by and do his programming for free. Always willing to
help,
until I found out that this impoverished fire department had a budget in the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sorry folks, contact your local two way
shop.

Purpose of the list? On the web page it says,

"To swap information about programming two-way radio equipment and enabling
options that aren't commonly known about. Focusing on the more popular
brands like Tait, Simoco, Philips, Sawtron, Maxon, Motorola, Etc. if you
have any info, feel free to share it here. If you are looking for some info,

feel free to ask here. If you need software or programming facilities, we
may be able to point you in the right direction. JUST ASK! Thanks

"

I don't see where it says anyone is giving away software, rather they
are providing
information including pointing someone in the right direction as to
where to get
the software.

Brand new Globe gear? What did you do with the old stuff?
