Q:	What is TRBOnet?
A:	TRBOnet is a registered trademark of software products developed specially for Motorola radios
Q:	What application do you have for MOTOTRBO?
A:	We have two software products for MOTOTRBO: TRBOnet Pro, TRBOnet Standard and TRBOnet Enterprise.
Q:	Does TRBOnet Pro include the GPS location?
A:	Yes, TRBOnet Pro includes GPS location service, Text Messages, Telemetry, ARS and many others.
Q:	What map formats does TRBOnet support?
A:	Currently TRBOnet Standard/Pro/Enterprise works with Google Earth, MapPoint2009, ESRI, MapInfo, Shape and many others. TRBOnet also supports raster maps (i.e., MapLib format)
Q:	What database does the Demo version use?
A:	You do not need the database server to run the Demo version. Only the full software version requires the database server. (Microsoft SQL Server 2000/2005/2008)
Q:	Can I run TRBOnet RadioServer on Linux/Unix?
A:	Unfortunately, currently not. You can install and run TRBOnet products on Windows only (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista)
Q:	I have the cable PMKN4016? Can I use it with TRBOnet without any modification?
A:	Yes, for GPS, Text Messages, ARS, Telemetry, Lone Worker and other features - you can use a regular programming cable without modification. But, to get access to TRBOnet "voice" capabilities you have to modify the cable - add analog audio wires (because currently it is impossible to get mototrbo digital audio via USB)
Q:	What is the TRBOnet system requirements?
A:	Please take a look at this TRBOnet System Requirements
Q:	Does TRBOnet support GPS Revert capabilities?
A:	Yes, TRBOnet Pro/Standard supports GPS revert capabilities. Have a look at RadioServer configuration window. You can specify up to three radios for GPS revert.
Q:	I would like to limit dispatcher's features. For example, a dispatcher must not be able to change a channel or kill radio. Is it possible?
A:	Yes, sure. There are two roles in TRBOnet: administrator and dispatcher. You should create a new user with role "dispatcher" and select options only what must be available for this user. Take a look at DispatcherConsole/Administer/Create User Form/Advanced
Q:	Can I install TRBOnet Pro (client and server) on a single PC?
A:	Yes, you can install both - DispatcherConsole and RadioServer - on a single PC. But for voice capabilities your computer must have two sound cards. Please take a look at this Single PC installation
Q:	Does TRBOnet Standard/Pro/Enterprise has the voice recording feature?
A:	Yes, TRBOnet Pro/Standard includes the recording feature. The software records all conversations in a channel: Broadcast Calls, Groups Calls, Dispatcher Calls, Private Calls from a dispatcher to a radio, and from a radio to a dispatcher. Please note: private calls between subscriber radios are not recorded.
Q:	Does TRBOnet support Capacity Plus or IP Site Connect?
A:	Yes, TRBOnet Pro supports IP Site Connect. TRBOnet Enterprise supports both: Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect.
Q:	How to export recorded GPS info to CSV or any other format?
A:	Go to DispatcherConsole -> Reports and Statistics. Make a GPS report. You will see the option "Export to..." on the report toolbar.
Q:	Everything works great. But when I go into private call, the PTT turns grey and does not function, meaning that it cannot go green when pressed.
A:	The reason for this issue is that the master radio ID specified in CPS is not the same as specified in RadioServer configuration. Set the correct Master Radio ID in RadioServer configuration and private calls will work as expected.
