G5 alpha tag issue

[sparklehorse]

Hi.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. My VHF flavor G5 occasionally will display the alpha tag for one talk group while passing audio for an entirely different group. So for instance, I might hear an ambulance calling in to a hospital with patient stats, but when I look at the G5 the alpha tag says "County Sheriff". Or I hear a fire dispatch on what is displayed as a police talk group. The first few times this occurred I thought it must be my imagination, or maybe what I heard was not what I thought it was. But this has now happened enough times for me to be 100% certain it is occurring. It seems to always be passing audio for some other group in my scan list. I never hear the sewer repair crew or the dog catcher, which aren't in my list. It only occurs maybe once an hour, so it's not a big deal to me. I have no idea if just my unit has a defect or bug of some sort, or if it has to do with the latest firmware release (which I have in the radio). Maybe it's something quirky with our local P25 system? Just curious if others were experiencing this issue.

Thanks!

It happens often with mine. I think there's not enough CPU power/speed, etc. to keep the display as fresh as we would like. In general, it seems like things lag way behind, even turning off the radio, may not make the screen go blank for some time.

I wish it was better, but again, I still enjoy being able to actually hear stuff compared to the scanners that do not.

G5 Alpha Tag Issue

I, too, have noticed it. I have thought that the common factor when it is happening is if the talkgroups are busy and the audio goes to the next active talkgroup, but still displays the previous active talkgroup. I will try tio pay attention to that again in the future to see if there are any other common denominators.

The talkgroup hold time is not very long, so it seems like as soon as the voice ends if another talkgroup has voice it will pass it while the display lags behind on the previous talkgroup. I noticed this if I have a lot of busy talkgroups on one knob position.

Yep, I reported it to unication. They just said 'reprogram it'. Still there.
