I just got a G5 and am looking to get it programmed for my chief. Our department is dispatched via VHF, then assigned to P25 trunking talkgroup for communication to dispatch.
I have a couple of questions:
1) We are dispatched by 2 different county dispatch centers, both on VHF, but separate frequencies; can I set the pager up to alert despite which county dispatches up? We have been using either minitor 5 or minitor 6 pagers and both of which allow you to be dispatched over multiple VHF frequencies. Meaning, if I have the pager in position 1, it monitors two frequencies and if it receives the proper tone sequence on either frequency it will alert the pager and record the message. I need to be able to duplicate this setup on the G5.
2) My dream, if possible, is to set the G5 up as described above, then once the pager has alerted it monitors a P25 talkgroup. Some have said this isn't possible, they say that each channel can only be set to either VHF or P25, but not both, thus it can't monitor the VHF frequencies and a P25 talkgroup, and alert from the tone sequence received on the VHF frequencies.
For those who know this pager intimately, let me know your thoughts to either or both questions.
