G2 and G3 coming....

[APX8000]

It really wouldn’t be difficult to do. Take the G5 and turn it horizontal and do the same with the display and buttons below. Move the volume and selector knob to the front, volume on left of screen and channel selector on right. Give it a more robust speaker. Make it DIN sized and put the antenna connection on the rear with the USB. Lose the internal loop antenna for the second band and use a separate antenna in the rear as well. There you have my G6.

Not sure that a *pager* that's only usable inside a vehicle is really the type of product that Unication is going for....

 

[markjrenna]

I want them to keep the G4 and G5 as I am sure they will... But I want them to create another line of products... I'd love a Unication Base model. The new G3 would be a perfect base... I also love the idea of separate antennas (Signal-Zero) for VHF and UHF

Can someone talk to them and see if thy can make a hold on one channel . I would love to buy one of those . My town has that p25 problem .I would love to have one of those . I would love to stop on one Channel hear what is going . Not having it scan and not stop .

 

[markjrenna]

For now... You could do what I do... Put PD on Ch 1 and put FD on Ch 2 and EMS on Ch 3 and all of it on Ch 4. Or any combination you want. I have some towns on their own channel and combined some local towns on another channel. Love it!

Are the G2 and G3 pagers going to do p25 phase l and phase ll and DMR?

 

[APX8000]

Yes

What protocols will the G2/G3 support beyond P25 and analog? I keep harping on a G5 model shown on the Unication TW site, the G5S. The G3 sounds very much like that unit. The G5S support Tetra and all three tiers of DMR.

Some more specifics on these new pagers would be great.

 

[minasha]

Sounds like the G3 will have an internal antenna and a short duckie.
if yes which band will be internal?

 

[APX8000]

They will support the same protocols as the G5.

I asked the same question regarding the G3. Once I hear something I’ll post it up. It would be nice to pick which band can be primary to the external antenna.

Will the G3 be able to monitor VHF/UHF at the same time, or be like the which is either 800 or VHF/UHF

A base station pager? How exactly do you envision a base station pager? Pagers by nature are meant to be worn on a person to page them wherever they are.

We have been using the Unication G4 and G5 “pagers” now as “scanners” for a couple of years. Even with the new I/Q Uniden SDS scanners being released, every time I go to one of those boards I constantly read about bugs, deafness on certain bands, and a variety of other issues. So people using the “pager” in an unconventional way, such a a base or mobile, is not far fetched considering it reliably handles LSM.

Indeed there are some of us doing that, but it seems fairly clear that (so-far) this is not Unication's target market, so, IMO, the probability of a mobile version any time soon is not high.

 

[APX8000]

Oh, I agree it’s not their target market. But there is a market, and it wouldn’t be much of a design change of their current pager models to implement. That’s all I’m saying.

The Plectron, Alert Monitor, and Informer would be a few examples.

I am aware of all of them, however those largely existed before the wide spread use of personal pagers. The Plectron was released in 1955, the Minitor was not released until the 70s nor used commonly in the way we use Minitors today until the Minitor II was released in 1992. When the Minitor II was released, production of the Plectron was ceased.

My G4 is my mobile. I stick it in the center console cupholder and can see and hear it perfectly. Reception is never a problem.

And base station “paging” devices are still in use nationwide as very affordable means of fire station alerting. Not everyone needs or trusts IP based methods. My region has hundreds of them in use, at least one per firehouse. Some use mobile radios in control station configuration set for QC2 decode, some use pagers in chargers, and some use Informers. Point is, there’s more of a market for these than people realize.

How did we get to IP based paging? The vast majority of paging, especially with the volunteer fire service, remains with the Minitor series pagers, all of which are paged via analog LowBand/VHF/UHF. I walk out the door with two Minitor pagers (33mhz and VHF), there is nothing IP about that. The Voc-Alarm in the station is also analog.
