    DSDPlus FL versus public release

    Sorry if this as been re-hashed, but is there any benefit to using public version 2.547 over FL version 2.523, or are they exactly the same? My FL version 2.523 is still showing no updates available, I think I read back in the beginning of December there would be an update coming. Just want to...

    SDS 200 vs BCD996P2 Side by side reception issues

    Sounds like you answered your own question, knowing the SDS is better designed to handle simulcast systems. As to why the 996 would be better on one system compared to another, I’m sure your specific location is a factor.

    What do you expect IPN to come up with as a workaround? It’s the cell phone companies that made the decision to discontinue email-to-SMS. Look into Pushover.net. It would require a separate app on your phone, but works well.

    Unication G5 on big island?

    I have a G5 with firmware version 1.35, but I mostly use it in one location monitoring the Honokaa site and it works well. I don’t usually use it while driving. Also, I’m pretty sure the VHF antenna is internal, so putting a different one on the unit won’t matter. That antenna is for the...

    Kenwood: New $4000 radio shipped like a ragdoll

    Not to go off on a tangent, but my boss at work does this to me all the time. Someone will send an email to both of us and he won’t take the time to read it thoroughly and then comes to me asking for an explanation of what the sender meant. It’s the “I’m the boss and I don’t feel like taking the...

    Hawaii County - site 10 Haleakala - 4+ years later

    I haven't been paying much attention to this site over the past couple of years, but have been monitoring it recently and it seems nothing has changed. Seems only some radios are affiliated with the site so I'll see the North Kohala TGs for a few hours and then nothing for long stretches of...

    Confirmed, signal level is now showing again on the Test&Extras tab in version 23.0.1. Thanks!

    ProScan: Official Software Thread

    Sorry if this was already mentioned, I could have sworn that the Test & Extras tab used to show the signal level next to the frequency, but I don’t see it anymore. Did something change? Using a 996P2.

    Thanks for the info. What states currently have activity for testing?

    Thanks for the details. Yeah, I wouldn’t expect there to be many reporters in my area. I just realized that Hawaii County FD is using PulsePoint, was surprised to see that. Pretty neat.

    And what if there is no coverage in my area? They still charge me and then I find out the service is useless? Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see a map or list of coverage areas.

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    Getting pretty good success with 2.02 after following this advice. Here is what I did: - factory reset pager - updated firmware to 2.02 - factor reset pager again - performed a Read Device into new profile - loaded system into the new profile It seems to performing just about as good as...

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    Thanks, will give it a shot. I did previously try creating a new profile from scratch in PPS, but I didn't factory reset the pager first. Can you clarify the second step you mention "download from pager"? If I factory reset the pager, wouldn't there really be nothing to download to PPS?

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    And I should clarify too, while the system has about 60 talkgroups total, the site I’m listening too gets only about a handful of those. So we’re talking about a tiny amount of transmissions.

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    I managed to get my G5 to downgraded to 1.35. Like a couple of other folks, I was seeing calls getting cut off or missed quite a bit on 2.02. I tried setting all the talk groups to alert mode = Tone which helped a little bit but not much. It seems it was struggling to keep up with quick back to...

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    Trying to downgrade back to version 1.33 but getting error "problem with update package, image may not match your target". Does anyone know if reverting back to 1.33 is possible?

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    Understood, thanks. Do you know if that standard setting is able to be changed somewhere? I noticed that if I manually add a P25T talkgroup, then the default is Tone/Default Tone. When importing via RR, the Alert Modes are all set to None.

    New Firmware/PPS Release for G2-G5 Voice Pagers (V2.02 & V0.4.0.39)

    Does this recommendation apply to P25 trunking talkgroup also? It seems when importing a system from RR, the Alert mode for each TG is set to none by default. So that means you’d have to manually go through and set each TG?
