One of the criticisms of the Unication G4/5 is that it is not currently possible to turn scanning off. I am just curious if anybody here is programming any of their zones with just a single talkgroup? In essence, making that zone a single channel monitor.
One of the other things that I am considering, is having different profiles in different zones with a different priority talkgroups pre-programmed. That sort of cures the problem of not being able to change the select priority talkgroup from the keypad.
One other criticism if changing from TALKGROUP SCAN to TALKGROUP SEARCH, or whatever Unication calls it, from the unit is receiving. One work around has been to remove the antenna. With so much memory available, why not program the same group of talkgroups in the next zone over and have it pre-selected is SEARCH rather than SCAN?
I would love to have Butel, or somebody else, make after market software for this similar to their software for other radios. It would be nice to be able to leave this connected to a computer and have it perform unattended monitoring.
That way it could
