G4 programming

[wb4sqi]

Received a new-to-me G4 today, Firmware 2.03, using the new PPS 4. Connected, downloaded owners profile and saved it. Reset G4 to factory and created a new profile using the Radio Reference database for Ohio MARCS-IP for a single county. Stepped through each tab, set up Zone 1 knob 1 with 64 tg's and uploaded to the G4. G4 reports success but says also not programmed. Obviously I missed a step somewhere, hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.

TIA,

Did you manually add the talk groups to zone1 knob 1?

 

[wb4sqi]

Yes, selected 64 from a list of 173, added to the non-priority scan window.

Ok I am not sure then as long as the site information is correct. The thing I asked you about was a mistake I made early on in my Unication start up days. Perhaps you could save the file, zip it up and someone can look at it here and possibly help.

Also letting is know the exact site and county you're trying receive is usually helpful info as well as your location in reference to that.

Hopefully we can help you get it sorted out.

Nick-

What @K9KLC said... "Not Programmed" is what comes up when your zone knob is set to an un-programmed zone. If you put everything in zone 1, knob position 1, I'd double check that your zone knob is set to position 1. I've had this happen many times.

Agreed. I've had to double check doing the RR import to make sure things are where I want them to be.

Export the profile, zip it into an archive and post it here for review.

Also make sure the pager is on the correct Zone.

What version of Windows are you using? I haven't been able to get Windows 11 to program. It goes through all the motions and claims it programmed, but it didn't take when I read out the Unication. I had to use a Windows 10 machine. I couldn't figure it out, I tried 2 different Windows 11 machines.

Solved! Operator error! Knob was in position 8 instead of 1, what a doofuss......

Thanks for all your help folks.

I think everyone has done something on that level. Maybe more than once...

You are NOT alone! Welcome to the Unication world!

Prior to programming I read various threads here on RR and FB about that same issue and thought, no way, I'll be absolutely sure I'm in the correct position. I had a G5 that I sold a couple of years ago, got disenchanted with Unication folks and rumors of a scanner, upgraded G5 firmware that offered some new features but only if you signed up early, etc. So......, I'm back. New PPS seems OK so far, just need to get my head back in the programming game. Thanks again for all your help.

FWIW… I have Unication G4’s, G5/V & G5/U — no issues here running the latest PPS on Windows 11 On both a Microsoft Surface Pro and also an HP Windows Laptop.

message #10 is the individual having Win11 issues, no problem for me.

I just ordered the G4 as well. I'm waiting on delivery, but wanted to set up a profile on the software so I can use it upon receiving it. My model is GS442RE-SXXXEN. I don't see that option on the PPS software. I downloaded the most up-to-date version. What is your model number? Was it listed?
