Try www.scannermaster.com for the program that you need. They also sell USB cables too.

64MFJKK drop me a PM and I'll tell ya what you need to do to program a Vertex radio. I have a couple of VX800s and have experience programming Vertex radios.

Does Hawthorne FD have a fire horn? If they do does it go off for their EMS like Briarcliff Manor.

From looking at the pictures with Hawthorne's trucks that someone recently posted, it appears that Hawthorne has 2 Type B Gamewell Diaphones on the roof.

According to the Pierce New Deliveries they are Impels.
