DMR Upgrade

[richardbritt]

I just ran across how to upgrade your G series pagers without sending them in to the dealer or factory. Unication has changed the process to do the upgrade. You pay a $25 fee, then you provide Unication your serial number and they send you a download that upgrades your pager for DMR.

Fyi, I received the email from unication this morning, downloaded the DMR upgrade, and it took less than 1 minute to accomplish the upgrade. In case others are interested in adding DMR

I have and have had DMR on my pagers since acquiring them used, a few years ago now. I did some brief experimenting with them on DMR and honestly since almost all of my PS here is P-25 simulcast I use the Unication's for what they're designed for and use different devices for DMR. Even when I did have one with me on DMR I was still missing too much of my P-25 simulcast which is honestly to me, what the Unication excels at.

It's great they are letting you have that now for the folks that want it however to me, it's a waste of the capabilities of the pager at least in my area. Good luck to you!

When you upgrade to DMR does that change the firmware if you're still using an older one (V1.31)? I don't really want to change it.

Just opens up DMR.

Just did mine. Filled out the form yesterday, sometime mid morning today got the email. It took about a minute to do. Once it finished, just read the pager into PPS, and you are good to go, no rebuilding your profile necessary.
