G5 on Sacramento, CA P25 System?

[NorCalrescue]

I am trying to program my G5 on Sacramento's new P25 P1 system. Running into a lot of issues with "Out of Range" and cannot get it to connect. Is the Sacramento system (used to be SmartZone) not compatible with the G5 pager? TIA

A P25 Phase 1 system is definitely compatible. Programming Unication radios is a bit more complex than programming a scanner, so that's probably this issue - unless you live outside of the system's service area.

Make sure you enter the site number as hex and not decimal.

Can you post a link to the system you are trying to program.

SRRCS works on my G5 - or did when I last tried, a couple of months ago - I live in a neighboring county.

Occasionally my G5 would not take one or more of the WACN, Sysid, SiteID, or RFSS. One those systems, I just set them to wildcards (all FF's) and let the G5 figure it out. This also works for systems with multiple sites with different control channels. Just merge your CC's set all the previous parameters to wild card and it works.

Mine works great, I get "out of range" for Roseville inside the house but if I put my Motorola antenna on or go outside it's no problem. Sacramento though, is no problem and has never dropped out.

Are codeplugs allowed to be shared when it comes to pagers? If so, could someone share a copy of a working Sacramento system G5 codeplug?

I can probably put something together later today, if no one else beats me to it. Where are you located?

Here's a basic profile for SRRCS. It works on both SimulCast and Twitchell Island sites from my location in east Contra Costa county (using an outdoor antenna). The Downtown Folsom site is in there too, but I (obviously?) can't hear that here. There are two example knob positions - 1 is Trunking TG-Monitor (any and all TGs) and 2 is County Fire TGs.
