What is everyone's thoughts on the G1? I currently have a Min 6 and I don't feel the reception is near as good as my V was. How does the G1 compare to the Min 6? I like that I can buy the software and programming cradle on line.

I use a VHF G1 as well as a VHF/7-800 G5 everyday. I think the G1 is superior to the Minitor series hands down. It has the same features the Minitor 6 does, but you gain an LCD display. Reception is great & so is the audio coming from the speaker. And, I'm not sure how much you've ever had to deal with Motorola or how much it can be a pain to have to send something to the Depot for repair, but I've found it 100 times easier to work with Unication. That and the fact that they listen to their customers & have one of their folks that participates here on the boards. They actually take their customers suggestions seriously.
Another thing the G1 will do on VHF is cover the entire VHF high band. The Minitors do not. During the summer when storms are an everyday thing my G1 is used as a weather warning radio/device, set up with the 1050Hz long tone for activation. I used a personal owned Minitor 5 for almost 8 years and then after using the G1 demo for 3 hours I've not picked up the Minitor 5 since.
The PPS may take a minute or two to learn your way around but other than that it's great. IMO the G1 is superior in every regard.
****EDIT - The PPS for the G1 is a free download from the Unication site, and the programming cradle is a good bit less than the cradle for a Minitor 6.****
