Your PERIOD holds zero weight. Many like to use this radio for scanning purposes, and it's likely more scanning features will be added.

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.

You mean some fat dude is holding all the cards on the firmware updates?
Hey, as a Fluffy Person, I resent that statement.

The pager is not a scanner as some on here have said, but they did add the option of blocking out encryption and to monitor all talk groups on a system. The pager will scan certain band limit but its so slow lol I tried one day scanning 850-860 with I think hypotactically it took 30 minuets to scan from 850-860 lol.
That feature was probably an early request by scanner enthusiasts, and the glacial search speed was Unication's answer. So maybe we should be careful what we ask for! I can imagine them giving us a talkgroup hold function activated by pressing the blue button twice, then the yellow once, the red four times, and finally hold the white button while simultaneously moving the navigation key left and right six times.

Never once have I had to scan a frequency range to achieve stellar performance on my G4. And also oddly enough, I have yet to receive a page on this pager.
That makes me think there were signals being processed, thereby slowing the search. I know the band sweep, for a control channel is not that slow.
I am pretty sure its Up UP Down Down Left Right Left Right A B B AThat feature was probably an early request by scanner enthusiasts, and the glacial search speed was Unication's answer.

Do not trust this guy!! The above sequence will probably make your Gx self-destruct!

Change the 'A's to 'E's and universal decryption is enabled.

YES, our tones are EXCEPTIONALLY loud over the Chartlotte UASI Union County trunk system, and the voice audio is fairly low, so the tones BLAST over the speaker to make the voice audio understandable. It's very annoying!

Yes sir, I agree totally. I hope the engineers can find a way to make AGC possible.

Tim, I think he's referring to the actual Motorola QCII tones, not the actual pager activation. On the UASI system and our statewide system, the tones are usually much louder than the voice traffic. That's why a look into AGC would be most appreciative. Those of us who must monitor these systems daily would like to have the units even out the voice and tone volume.

Can you give us any idea when the next firmware update is coming and what might be in it?
Tim
We should have an update withing the next 30 days. Im not sure what "new" features will be in it. There is a bunch of changes since V1.2, but mostly operational changes.Can you give us any idea when the next firmware update is coming and what might be in it?

Yes, Sir, you are correct. It's the transmitted/received tones that are too loud, not any pager generated tones. Hence the request for AGC. Thanks for clarifying that for me!

That means the audio levels at the dispatch site need to be adjusted, to be balanced.
