• 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.

G2 Repeating custom alert tones?

I'm programming a new Unication G2 and having an issue trying to figure out how to program my custom alert tones to loop after activating.

I have a G5 and G2 I purchased about three years ago and programmed in PPS v3.16. I have custom alert sounds for the tones programmed -- I have text-to-speech recording files saying whose tone it is. For example, for one company I have a recording of "Station 2" being said one time, but when the pager activates it will loop the recording 3-4 times after the second tone hits, so the alert from the pager will sound as "station 2, station 2, station 2, station 2."

I just got a new G2 and I am trying to get it to loop the alert tone recording like my other two pagers, but I can't figure out how to do this. I've tried the alert settings "by tone" and with a fixed time duration but the pager will not loop the alert sound files, it just plays it once. This new pager is programmed in the current PPS version 4.00.39.

I attempted to program in the older version of PPS I used for the other pagers but this new G2's model number isn't an option in the drop-down list.

I searched on here and couldn't find anything on this. I did find one post suggesting the looped alert tone may be a glitch in a certain firmware, but aside from that I can't find any information on trying to get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated.
