G2 and G3 coming....

[APX8000]

This was buried in another thread so I thought it would be better to start a new one to discuss this future product:

We have G2 VHF, G2 UHF and G3 UHF/VHF on order. The external antenna on the G2 has 7-8 dB better signal strength compared to the internal antenna of the G5.

I know in NY and NJ there are several UHF trunked systems and a G2 using the external antenna vs a G5 UHF 7/800 where the UHF uses an internal loop vs 7/800 using the external, this may show a marked improvement on an already proven performer.

So the G2/G3 are newer models that are single band on vhf and uhf respectively?

• G2 is single-band available in either VHF or UHF
• G3 is dual-band VHF/UHF
• G4 is single-band 700/800
• G5 is dual-band available in either VHF/700/800 or UHF/700/800

(700/800 are considered a single band by nearly all manufacturers)

Or, broken down by band:

• VHF - G2 for single band, G3 if UHF also required, G5 if 700/800 also required
• UHF - G2 for single band, G3 if VHF also required, G5 if 700/800 also required
• 700/800 - G4 for single band, G5 if VHF or UHF also required

G2 is single band and can be ordered in VHF or UHF

G3 is dual band VHF / UHF

G4 is single band 7/800

G5 is dual band VHF 7/800 or UHF 7/800.

I want one! When ?

 

[Holshot14]

Wonder if there will be a way to upgrade the G5 to the better UHF and disable the internal UHF

I am in the process of testing a G2 UHF. The external antenna works 100% better on UHF vs the internal antenna on the G5.

Curious if anyone has the actual freq. range for the G2 and G3. I assume the VHF is the same as I have on my G5? I am curious on the UHF ranges though. I mean as of now the G5 (UHF version) has 4 separate models covering different UHF ranges. I would considering selling some things and picking up a G2 and G3 , especially if the UHF model were to cover down to 380-400. I have been BEYOND impressed with the G5. I have had it for almost 2 years now. Best money I have spent on radio (sorry pager : ) )

@Signal-Zero and @GTR8000 thank you both for your answers lol

This is amazing, I've been waiting for dual uhf/vhf to monitor our county dispatch and our repeater on one unit.

Looks like the G2 will come in VHF 136-174, UHF A 330-400, UHF B 380-430, UHF C 400-470, or UHF D 450-512
the G3 will be VHF and choice of above UHF.

 

[Danny37]

Any word on a release date for these units. Also will Bluetooth v4.0 be a standard feature?

 

[Danny37]

Would've loved a tri-band release, VHF/UHF/800.

Thanks for the info! I was hoping they would put all the UHF bands on one model-----I actually have things I could listen to in all of them. Especially with DMR now.

I have been wishing for this for a while! I would buy one of those in a second. The G6
