Is there a way to make the G5 remain silent and then alert for ANY two-tone page that goes over the air? Kind of like a wildcard/search function... This would allow the radio to keep quiet until a dispatch goes out, avoiding the less interesting conversations of stations going in and out of service, etc. If so, is there a way to do this for 2-Tone over P25 talkgroups? Thanks!

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. 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. 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. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
G5 Wildcard for 2-Tone?

Not as far as I'm aware sadly, would be very awesome to have though especially in more adminstrative roles.
You can program up to 16 tone pairs, so if your area does not use more than that, you can program them in and get your piece and quiet. That is how we set em up here. If an area uses more than 16, we just program the primary dispatches first and then program in any remaining tones we have room for.
A county in the area uses a total of 20 tone sets, we program in the primary 12 and then add 4 others that have secondary importance or interest.

Suppose that my county has about 50 2-tone alerting pairs, which use a variety of tones from among two groups. Let's say the first group is one of 5 tones and the second group is one of 15 tones. Is there a way to set up the pager to alert on any of the single 5 tones (as opposed to 2-tone sets)? In theory, this would also be a solution to my initial question...
Do these tone sets have a commonality? If they have the same A tone, that could make life easier. (Set up the pager to long tone, reacting to that A tone.)
