• 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.

Does anyone know how to get my G5 to cycle out of boot mode? It is stuck on the start up screen and I have tried all the usually tactics. Even tried to upgrade the firmware yet i cannot get it to connect to a computer either.

Have you tried to remove the battery? I think I read where this may work.

I had the same issue a year ago. My dealer put in a request and Unication sent me a new unit. Took about 5 days.

Press the 2 buttons on the left side and the left knob on top all at the same time until the red lights come on, hold for 3-5 seconds

I had the same issue when my G5/VHF was about two months old. Unication replaced it with an entirely new unit when sent back through Ray's Pagers. Apparently, there is NO software/firmware/reset fix for this, so it must be some type of hardware RAM/ROM type failure.
